<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I was in class today and I shut down my notebook, when I turned it back on I had a dialog box saying that it is installing updates and not to shut off the computer, so I waited and waited and waited, eventually my battery died and when I turned the computer back on, it said in another box &quot;SYSTEM ERROR: RESUME FAILED&quot; <br />
<br />
Low and behold when I needed to restart my computer again, the same thing happened with Windows trying to install some sort of update. I waited an hour and a half and it still said Installing update 1 of 2 and there was little to no hard drive activity (as indicated by LED), Eventulally i pulled the plug, yanked out the battery and the same &quot;SYSTEM ERROR: RESUME FAILED&quot; &nbsp;message occured at reboot.<br />
<br />
I can't find any documentation on the web regarding this so please help me.<br />

XP attempts to install updates at shutdown

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
