OctoPussy Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 type msconfig in the run. Go to startup tab and find xpsp2.exe. Its probably a spyware. Delete the file it points to and clean the registry manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toadeater Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Have you tried installing SP2? If not, you better remove that file from startup, sounds suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptiPlex Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 or it could be SP2 automatically downloading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Veteran Posted October 11, 2004 Veteran Share Posted October 11, 2004 Scan your system for any viruses/trojans, delete them and redownload SP2 if neccessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
