Your xp is a illegal version, is it?

how do u mean

Well did you buy xp. How did you get your xp

a mate gave it to me. cos i didnt want 98 but ive got the home edition version which I bought how did u guess that it was a pirated one

because it says authenticate so it means microsoft knows it's not legal.

i've tried reinstalling it the same thing still happens

Have you got a legal version

Did you get your pc authacticed on the microsoft website by any chance

when it starts the 60 second countdown do:
start -> run and type: "shutdown.exe -A" (no quotes) that'll stop the 60 second countdown and shutdown.
okay, it's either the sasser worm or ms blaster worm (if it is in fact a worm) - if on start up it mentions "LSA Shell (Export Version) then it is the sasser worm and you should get these:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FxSasser.exe
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?F...8F3&displaylang=en
if not then it is msblaster and you should get:
http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/blast.mspx
that patch.
and run:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FixBlast.exe
to scan and remove the worm already present.

Time.

its also disabled my anti virus system so that i cant detect it
