Fixing problem caused by Service Pack 2 Installation

According to Microsoft's web site (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;885523), after a user finishes installing Service Pack 2 (SP2), computer will be restarted many times with an error message "A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. Technical information: STOP: c0000135 (Unable To Locate Component). This application has failed to start because winsrv was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem". The problem occurs when the following conditions are met: there is T.V. Media software (TvMedia.tvmbho) made by Total Velocity Corp, installed in a computer with Windows XP as its operating system, but a user try to install SP2 before installing Critical Update 885523. Microsoft said that the problem is caused by compatibilities between Windows XP SP2 installer program and advertising program called T.V.Media.

Solution
Users can prevent the problem by deleting or uninstalling T.V. Media software. But if users don't want to do so, they can install Critical Update 885523 (can be taken at http://msmvps.com/blogs/donna/archive/2004/10/07/15115.aspx or at http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?familyid=65875203-cf1b-4d32-8f32-e00d004659f6&displaylang=en) before installing Windows XP SP2. Note: users don't need to install this Critical Update before installing Windows XP SP2, if there's no T.V. Media software in their computers. But there's an alternative way to remove T.V. Media software, by using a special utillity software called Adware T.V. Media Removal Tool can be taken at http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?familyid=f94e8b27-b656-45cd-9668-73134a18231bcf1b&displaylang=en)
