[cvsnt] Re: CVSNT install failed and now Windows XP machine iscrashing

[S Wagle]

Yes, that's a possibility that Windows update caused the problem.  I was 
trying to think through the sequence of events.

The machine had been stable for quite some time and I had shut it down a 
couple of days ago.  When it was shutting down, it installed a couple of 
Windows updates.  Then I restarted the machine and worked on it for an hour 
or so and it seemed fine.  Then I installed CVSNT on it, which gave the 
install error message, and then it asked me to restart the machine.

When I restarted, Windows started to crash almost immediately or within 5 
minutes or so of startup.

In one of those 5 minutes where the machine did not crash, I was able to 
uninstall CVSNT, but that has not fixed the problem.  The machine continues 
to crash.

-- Is there a way for me to determine conclusively if it was the Windows 
update or CVSNT install that caused the crash?

-- Now that it is crashing, is there anything I can do to fix the problem, 
short of reinstalling Windows again?

Thanks
