Hi
Please update your modem driver from the Manufacturers web site. If this
does not help please proceed to the methods listed below.
Method 1:
========
Do you see an error message ? If the answer is NO please try the following:
1. Right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and
then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
2. Under System Failure, check the check box "Automatically Restart"
Method 2: (for Repairing damaged files)
=========
1. Click Start ->Run.
2. Type sfc /scannow (Note: There is a space between sfc and /scannow)
3. Select the OK button.
4. Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process.
5. Reboot the computer when System File Checker completes.
Method 3: (Repair Windows XP)
=========
Boot from the CD. If your system is set to be able to boot from the CD, it
should detect the disk and give a brief message, during the boot up, if you
wish to boot from the CD press any key.
Once you have pressed a key, setup should begin. You will see a reference
asking if you need to load special drivers and another notice that if you
wish to begin the ASR (Automatic Recovery Console) depress F2. Just let
setup run past all of that. It will continue to load files and drivers.
Then it will bring you to a screen. Eventually, you will come to a screen
with the option to (1) setup Windows or (2) Repair Windows Installation
using the Recovery console.
The first option, to setup Windows is the one you want and requires you to
press enter. When asked, press F8 to accept the end user agreement. Setup
will then search for previous versions of Windows. Upon finding your
version, it will ask if you wish to Repair your current installation or
install fresh. Press R, that will run a repair installation. From there
on, follow the screens.
Please post any error message you get on the screen.
Hope this helps ......

--Hey
--
--My machine is regularly restarting (immediately - no shutdown), usually
when I am online (dialup). Has anyone see this type of thing? I'm using
(regularly updated) Norton Antivirus) so am pretty confident its not a
virus. I have just re-formatted and re-installed and it still happens.
Maybe hardware prob?
