XP Restart

[Guest]

Automatic restart does not work. I get the message"operating system not
found" Everything else works OK. Have re loaded XP but the problem remains.
Laptop boots OK if I shutdown and re-boot manually.

Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System
and Application logs for the last restart and post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

He is getting in. What I understand is that the system does not restart
if Start, Turn Off Computer, Restart is selected.

Thanx Gerryoesn't seem to be any information under "system logs" The
following is from "application logs"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Userenv
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1517
Date: 2/7/2006
Time: 11:33:44 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: EDSAMSUNG
Description:
Windows saved user EDSAMSUNG\Edward registry while an application or service
was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's
registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no
longer in use.

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring
the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I don't think that Error Report indicates the cause of your problem.

For Event ID: 1517 download and install the User
Profile Hive Cleanup Service
