Rstart problems ??

[Guest]

I have 2 problems that need to be arrdessed.
Problem #1
My computer is set to download & install Windows XP updates,When it download
(KB873374) Microsoft GDI +detection tool & I reboot I cannot get the
computer to restart.It goes into the start mode ( & screen) then it
continually reboots this can continue for as long as the machine is powered
on.I cannot even start it in safe mode.
When I do a complete reinstallation & install the updates MINUS this file
all is OK.?

Problem #2
When I reinstall my printer (HP) the log on screen becomes active.This has
never happened before;When I go to disable it I also cannot restart the
computer

I would appreciate help on these 2 matters as I am really at the end of my
tether to have these rectified

Thanks
Ted

Thanks for the reply.
My computer is a HP,that already has a seperate ("D" drive) section; that is
where Windows XP is stored.This has been a constant problem now for about 3
weeks.
