Windows XP restarted with these msgs

[divt]

I have Windows xp Service pack 2, 2GB ram for 250GB HDD. Recently, I got blue screen error and just a few mins back the machine restarted while I was simply checking my mails.
I checked event viewer and found a couple of warnings and errors. Could someone please go thru and let me know what the issue is.

Warning1:
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address --- (and some numbers here instead of the '-' I've inserted). The following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.

Warning2:
The server was unable to add the virtual root '/Test/Test' for the directory 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Test' due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. The data is the error code.

Error1:
The adfs service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

Error2:
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the airtel. OUC service to connect.

Error3:
The airtel. OUC service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

(I have more than 1 internet conn. and 'Airtel' is one of them, but I wasn't using it at the time of this problem...)

I hope the above info is enough. Please help me out. I don't want to change my OS coz I don't have issues with using XP 🙂

1. Had you done anything else on the computer before the blue screen occurred (like playing with services)?
2. Go to Windows updates and make sure you have all the updates for the version of .Net Framework you have installed.

I never touch registry or anything coz I have no idea of those things.. though a couple of days bk I did remove somethings from startup thru 'msconfig'

so the Inetpub issue is coz of .net I presume.

The Event Viewer msgs don't give much clear idea for the restart, is it? 🙁

yeah, but I wanted to learn thru these warnings/error about the issue. And yes, if things don't go well then system restore it will be... 🙂

Warning #2 applies to IIS (Internet Information Services). Do you have that installed?

Yes, I do. But I don't use it now...

Uninstall it and see how things go.

Uninstall it and see how things go.

how about if I stop it thru 'services'?
infact, I even see 'Airtel.OUC' in the services list, but it is stopped. wonder why it still appeared in the error list 😕

 

[Ketchup]

It may be running outside of the real of a service. Is there anything related under the startup tab of msconfig?

 

[divt]

checked startup, nothing pointing to inetpub or that directory.

Is there a reason you haven't updated to SP3?

 

[divt]

didn't feel the need to.

didn't feel the need to.

That is an obstacle to many XP updates. It needs SP3.
