It is likely you have used a crack sometimes in the life of your computer to generate serial numbers of trial software from Microsoft, Adobe, Corel, Isobuster, Winzip etc. The cracks should only be used on machines they are not your main system otherwise they do something to the system32 folder. Have you checked that folder to see if there are any recent files in it. hth "JimRobbins" <JimRobbins(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:2FFB37A1-CA64-48D0-9CB8-E8F09CE82916(a)microsoft.com... > Every time i shut down my XP computer it restarts.
