windows crash on startup

[brownman]

Hi All,
I hope someone out there can give me a pointer to why when I boot my
computer from full powerdown I get a message as windows loads saying
that it has recovered from a serious error and that it needs to close.
The message box allows me to send a crash report to Microsoft for
analysis but the returned analysis is of no help whatsover. The reason
for the crash alters fron boot to boot.
I could perhaps understand that there is something wrong if this crash
happened all the time.
When I do a soft restart I get no errors at all, it loads into windows
normally without any crashes.
I am running Xp Pro w/ sp2 and all updates for mobo, sound, video etc
and there is as far as I know no malware spyware or viruses present as
I scan regularly.
Thanks in anticipation,
Tony

Install and run the Hive cleanup service and then it will run automatically.
That should fix it. If not please post back. TTFN.

Thanks, it seems to have done the trick.
