message that is similar to following: Winlogon.exe. Entry

in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.DLL. CAUSEThis behavior may occur if you have installed Microsoft
Windows XP Service Pack 1, but did not restart your computer before you tried
to install other updates from the Windows Update Web site. The behavior occurs
because some DLL files have been damaged.RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, you must restart your computer in

CD-ROM to start your computer.

c:\windows\system32 copy SHELL32.DLL
c:\windows\system32 copy WINLOGON.EXE
c:\windows\system32 copy SHLWAPI.DLL
c:\windows\system32
Note If the DLL files are not in the Servicepackfiles folder, you must
expand these files from the Windows XP installation CD-ROM and copy them to the
