How do I solve a "your system has recovered from a seroius
error" message that pops up everytime I start up? Thanks
 
To remove the error message, use one of these options:

You Receive a "System Has Recovered from a Serious Error" Message
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q317277

Right Click the My Computer
Icon/Properties/Advanced/Performance/Settings/Advanced/Change. Set Page
File to 0, ok your way out and reboot. Then follow the same procedure and
reset the Page File to System Managed File.

Right Click the My Computer
Icon/Properties/Advanced/Performance/Advanced/Virtual Memory/Change/No Page
File. Reboot. Then delete C:\Pagefil.Sys then revert the page file setting.

Right Click the My Computer
Icon/Properties/Advanced/Performance/Advanced/Virtual Memory/Change. Set
the swap file size to zero, reboot. Re-set to System Managed, reboot.
Reset the Custom setting, reboot.

Report Error's to Microsoft automatically

Start/Run/gpedit.msc/Computer Configuration/Administrative
Templates/System/Error Reporting. Right click Report Errors/Properties.
Check off Enable and then check off, Do not display links to any MS provided
more information web sites. Apply, ok.
 
The only time I've seen that particular error is when the PC was
infested with mass amounts of spyware and in particular winstart001.exe
(defined by some as both spyware and a trojan backdoor). Do a virus scan
with updated virus definitions and get SpybotS&D *and* AdAware, update
them and use both to check for spyware/malware problems.

The problem is your system is encountering a kernel mode
error, aka bluescreen.

First, try sending the error into Microsoft to see if a
fix is available.

Second, make sure you have all the latest patches
installed from Windows Update. Specifically, there is one
that will prevent the error message from poppping up if
the system really only encountered one bluescreen.

Lastly, make sure you have update drivers and application
patchs installed.

Hope this helps,

delete C:\Pagefil.Sys then revert the page file setting.

Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/
