I am getting "OXC0000142 program failed to initialize properly" error at
shutdown. What can I do to get rid of this? Thanks

The only thing that has changed is I installed Vista SP2 from microsoft

how
to undo all that, other than uninstalling SP2 and a system restore. Have
you seen anyone else having any problems after installing SP2?

The only time I've seen issues with SP2 is on machines that already had
problems such as being infected or if SP2 was installed with an antivirus
active. For most machines installing it is non-eventful. I don't consider
running Chkdsk to be part of routine maintenance; it should be run when
troubleshooting a file system/disk problem. However, I doubt that's the
cause. What other security programs do you have that run resident? Perhaps
one of them is the culprit - but you will only find out if you do the
systematic troubleshooting.
