Any feedback?

What does Event Viewer say? Any Critical Alerts in either the System or Application Folder?

What was the last thing you did/loaded before you started getting these errors?

 

[Quick1]

The last thing I loaded was the monthly XP downloads that appeared in the system tray. I think one file was an IE update, several XP updates and the monthly Tool Removal update. I?ve only be running XP for about a year and a half but it?s always been near bullet proof.

Ok...I?ll check Event Viewer history. Hmm...ok I guess you mean the ?System Volume Information Folder? right? I?ve never checked that before and actually didn?t know it existed. For a stand alone NTSF setup, is this how I would check it?

Windows XP Professional using the NTFS File System on a Workgroup or Standalone Computer

1. Click Start, and then click My Computer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. On the View tab, click Show hidden files and folders.
4. Clear the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the change.
5. Clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box.
6. Click OK.
7. Right-click the System Volume Information folder in the root folder, and then click Properties.
8. Click the Security tab.
9. Click Add, and then type the name of the user to whom you want to give access to the folder. Typically, this is the account with which you are logged on. Click OK, and then click OK again.
10. Double-click the System Volume Information folder in the root folder to open it.

NOTE: The System Volume Information folder is now accessible in normal mode to users of Windows XP Home Edition.
