I have been setting up a PC and now each time it starts
it says a reboot is required for changes to take effect.
I have don ethis many times. Anyone know the registry key
I need to modify?
 
Hi, Papa.

Not clear from your message: Are you running WinXP Setup? Or are you now
trying to configure WinXP or install applications, after WinXP is already
installed? Which hardware, or which applications?

"Setting up a PC" is rather vague. :^{

Here's a little program that might help track down the cause.

yes, iwas vague. my apologies. actually I am trying to
install an application and it states "setup cannot
continue because there is a pending required reboot.
please reboot and try again" I have found a TID but the
registry key for pendingfileename operations is empty.
