Hi,

Whenever i try to install any software, the pc resarts. Sometimes, it does not restarts, but mostly it restarts.

This problem is really annoying me, as i can't install anything.

If i remember correctly i got an error in msiexec.

Will sfc /scannow help me or shud i repair xp.

Thanx.

press windows key+break
advanced tab
startup and recovery settings
untick automatically restart

you'll get a better error message now.
