    Thanks guys for the prompt help , NOOOOT

    I eventually solved this myself:
    -regedit
    -HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\
    -remove the one with Cameras /Scaners

    Did it to me too. Ended up being the fan control software. Once I removed it it hasnt happened again.

    The latest Bios versions and Fancontrol makes the AAO reboot spontaniously.....inho bios 3109 still the best, no problems and the brightness steps of the lcd are nicer as well.

    I guess I need a little help. Downloaded and unrar'ed 'em. But they are all named 090304.iso and want to overwrite each one.
    How do I make the complete image? And bootable?
    Thanks

    Just extract the first one, unrarring this one will automatically include the others.
    You should end up with a file 512.557.056 bytes in size.

    Just briefly checked using Firefox and windows updates did not work.
    With the original Ron's Tiny XP, I applied windizupdate and it only found two updates (hardware). Then I applied another method found by googling...and I promptly forgot the name...it works. However, the first update Windows wants to install is Genuine Advantage. Ron's Tiny XP failed to install this update.

    I haven't been able to update Windows from any version of Tiny XP. Maybe someone knows how to get it done with some easy to follow instructions...?

    How do I get 2 operating systems installed? (ie Linux & Ron's TinyXP?)
    Or, what's the best way of trying this out without having to reinstall all my Linux stuff if I want to go back?

    I use Unetbootin and Ping to make a quick image of the hard drive partition. This allows me to try different OS and then revert back easily to original OS. Works fast and is easy. With Ping compression I was able to fit the entire OEM Windows XP, drivers and a "few" programs on a 2gb SD card.

    Anyone try using Sun Virtualbox with TinyXP? I can't get it to install. I always get a 2203 error.

    I use CT Update.

    Download the latest version and unzip it to your documents folder. First run Update generator, and pick out which updates you want (service packs, office etc), then navigate to the client folder and run Update installer.

    Beware, when I ran this for the first time it involved some heavy downloading.
