Automatic Updates is the "problem", it appears to be true that if we disable
this service the error will not appear upon restart.
You can get an update for this problem in Windows XP (KB894391) and have to download and install that patch manually.
But when I run this update It does not work very well. You can try this update, it might work on your system.
But results till now, are not very positive.
If you are able to resolve this problem let me know at: gauravkapil_28@sify.com
Let' s hope for the best.
