Windows XP: XP startup-Fatal system error-session manager initialization
2 computer with this problem
by bblake - 4/18/05 7:32 AM In reply to: Problem Confirmed by Manfred RoeschI had a laptop that downloaded auto updates and exhibited this error and while working on that probel, my main PC did the same thing 2 days later. It is a b**** to figure out and the fixes listed above will only work if you applied the SP2 update. If you used a slipstreamed CD to do a clean install then you do not have the SP2 uninstall folder. I am very surprised that this has not been in the news or out on the web more.
MS update problems
by dwynn - 4/19/05 9:10 AM In reply to: PROBLEM DIAGNOSED!!! by Dick WhiteLike many of you, my techie will make quite a bit over the next two days correcting the damage MS has wrecked on two computers here even reaching out to non MS items such as ACT. My question to the readers; what are the alternatives to Office for example. Mozilla Firefox is a browser alternative but much will only work with Explorer so we are stuck with that for know at least.
if its true... GOD BLESS YA!
by Charles_B - 4/21/05 8:53 PM In reply to: PROBLEM DIAGNOSED!!! by Dick Whiteman,
iŽve been looking for a solution to this for days! IŽve formatted like 5 times already and done half the way through the same process you did on my last try, getting on to the damned update... but now IŽll go directly to the point! thanks!!
I hope youŽre on the right track and I have no problems in this final update... if it is so IŽll post it here!
Thanks!
Charles.
thanks for the info
by ruthlp - 4/22/05 12:51 AM In reply to: PROBLEM DIAGNOSED!!! by Dick WhiteHave people solved the problem by not installing this update then?
I got my brand new laptop exactly 2 weeks ago today, and today that error came up, it also did it exactly one week ago. So once a week since I got it! I've been too scared to put all my files on it in case it happens again so I REALLY hope it works. Thanks for letting me know!
So any feedback on whether the prob has happened agin for anyone would be great!
Thanks
That is the fix
by bblake - 4/22/05 2:54 AM In reply to: thanks for the info by ruthlpI just re-installed Windows XP with a CD that included Service Pack 2. I downloaded the updates which includes the one mentioned above and I instantly got the same error again. I followed the instructions listed to uninstall that service pack and now I am problem free. I also set windows update to hide that service pack and also to not auomatically download updates.
IT IS 890859!!
by Charles_B - 4/22/05 12:22 PM In reply to: PROBLEM DIAGNOSED!!! by Dick WhiteNow I got another problem, I lost my internet connection, so IŽll have to do the tedious work of finding the problematic update once again.
XP really gets into it!
The good news is that the main problem is solved... KILL the 890859! NOW!

rebooting problem
by Leop - 5/4/05 6:28 PM In reply to: Complete Fix. for Windows Update BUG (pc keeps reebooting) by harianilI found the problem was with an update of windows but then it finally just stopped at the desktop screen without desktop icons so I did a system restore and in the middle of the restore it rebooted and now I can get in or a desktop screen. Any suggestions to this. No virus on my system.

Windows Explorer Fatal Error
by smalls101 - 5/25/05 5:25 PM In reply to: Complete Fix. for Windows Update BUG (pc keeps reebooting) by harianilI had the same problem on my HP running XP Pro. I followed these directions and I am able to start it up most of the way, but when it reaches my desktop image it stops. Eventually it says "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close." I am able to create new tasks through the task manager and i have tried running "explorer.exe" which immediately crashes. I have scanned the registry with Norton System Works 2004 as well as scaned for spyware and viruses. I tried restoring it to an earlier date but it still had the same problem. I can run every program but that one. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate input.
I will be crazy by this error
by miniroom - 6/22/05 7:41 PM In reply to: Windows Explorer Fatal Error by smalls101I also used HP WINXP, the explorer often closed automatic by quickly operations on it. Where could I get patch to fix it?
BULLSEYE>RE:Complete Fix. for Windows Update BUG
by aussie_el - 7/24/06 10:03 PM In reply to: Complete Fix. for Windows Update BUG (pc keeps reebooting) by harianilI followed that exactly and it worked like a charm. I had the same problem. I noticed though that right before my computer rebooted it had installed some auto updates and i got the error reporting popup that said windows update encountered an error. It kept popping up again so I rebooted and BLUE SCREEN. Toshiba wanted me to wipe it with system restore but thats not necessary.
You can get to windows recovery with the xp disk except some computers i guess wont take the admin password. the floppys gets around that.
