Next: error 80200010
From: Wyman on 15 Apr 2005 23:52 I've just installed the lates updates including Win Installer 3.1 and my computer (in the other room) is dead. It repeatedly reboots from a blue screeen. On an F8 boot it says the "session manager initiazation process terminated". I'm suspecting this is widespread and suggest you DO NOT INSTALL THE LATEST UPDATE. I can only post this because I'm using my second computer. Everyone with only one PC won't be able to raise this issue. MSFT PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

I don't suspect it is wide-spread and such "scare-tactics" are unnecessary. 4500 installs of the patches for myself to date - no problems. Are you seeing this? 0xC000021A: STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED or This?

To be clear Shenan, I wrote this to get help but to also warn others of this critical bug. This bug is raised by many other on this newsgroup. I error message is the latter below. I'm using XP Media Center 2005 on an Athlon 64 3500. No partion software at all. I've tried to reboot wit hthe XP CD but it does not recognize my C drive. I can't even load XP. How else do you figure I should run a repair configuration? Thoughts?
