Windows has encountered a critical problem and will restart automatically in one minute. Please save your work now.

Hi atronos2007 I am contacting you to ask about an error I keep getting for my computer. It's the same one your encountered. I wanted to know if your computer is still doing well? I am downloading the file you used and am hoping to have my issues solved soon. Have you encountered any other issues since repairing your computer?

Thank you in advance for including the file link and I am praying it works for me as well as it did for you.

First of all to manually stop the shutdown, create a shortcut on desktop by right click and new>shortcut. in the field type "shutdown -a" without quotes and on the next screen give name stop shutdown or what ever. whenever you see the message you just double click on this shortcut within one minute countdown. Next thing goto control panel>Administrative tools>computer management>event log. In the event log check for the errors that just occured. Post them here for further permanent solution. Hope it helps!

If you are sure that your problem is the article that you mentioned. then download the kb976586 update using windows update or download from http://thehotfixshare.net/board/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=11661 and run it to fix this problem.

Good Luck.

This virus or whatever has disabled the event log (disabled loads of things, including MSE and windows updates). I can't view the log and your shutdown prevention did not work unfortunately.

Nothing seems to work now. Everytime I try to scan with MSE or Sophos, it automatically restarts once problems are found. It's very frustrating.

I'll try the rescue CD above to see if that helps.

Tried several of the solutions suggested below, but only one resolved the issue completely for me: I bought an adapter that converted my internal hard drive to external so that I could scan it from another machine with MS Windows Essentials. I preset the options to destroy harmful viruses and it blew the virus away. I then used a recovery disc to replace the removed startup files and all was well.

Nothing wrong with that approach (using tools from a working windows on broken one). A proven "last resort" for all kinds of trouble! Had to use it on my old XP when it suddenly thrashed the filesystem... And got it up again... :-D

However for this specific infection I (seemingly) got through with the recommended Kapersky rescue disc and a "windows 7 upgrade" (installing from the win7 disc from windows and choosing to upgrade/repair).

In general I would recommend backing up data files and restoring a clean image. Or doing a reinstall from scratch. This time my image was just to old and I'm to busy to bother having to install/setup the missing stuff right now. :-O

That's a lesson to keep a recent image handy... ;-)
