Welcome to WD Forums irv.
What do you see in the task manager? Remember to check processes and programs.
Also, be patient.
PS
WOW, this thread has become huge.
i had to delete migrate.exe in order to get my sp2 update to move along. all is well.
thanks
Yeah I think it now has all the variations of this condition in it to get loads of random google hits ;) hence why you've had 'teh greeter' hat on quite a bit :thumbs:Quote:

hi TripleRLtd. i was working on a friends laptop/ desktop replacement (no internal battery) because the power connector went bad. i found directions to disassemble the monster and fixed it and when i put it back together, it wouldn't boot and i couldn't get past an entry point error message even with specific instructions found through a google search. my only guess on that one is that the password had expired since the last time the computer was used but that is only a guess.
so i did an sp1 repair installation from cd and got it going without any data loss, mercifully. i then let windows update download and install sp2 and during the install process, i got the entry point error message and i had to delete the migrate.exe process to get it going again. now i am returning the laptop complete with extra screws i didn't use and with a loose screw in the case. i am crossing my fingers......
Good man Irv :thumbs:
The more we can 'drag out of folks' who manage to fix things up with this fairly random list (As trip set off to talk about just one variation of this ;)), the better chance it gives to later folks to find a work around for any of this very long list of slight variations by simply skimming this post ! :)
Trip :- this might be worth 'noting' somehow on the opening post ? .. asking folks to confirm what fixes what, or if some suggested fix works for a new variation ?
The opening reply on this thread 'has it' for me ;) :thumbs:

You weren't wasting your time by sharing this information.
Much appreciated.
Will do: later. Any ideas as far as "wording" confus-ed? NooNoo?Quote:

BUT: my machine hung forever... CD eject did the trick.
alright, i read all the posts in this topic. i'm not quite sure what caused the message to come up with anyone else, but i opened windows media player, and the "procedure entry point" box comes up and has not gone away despite over 40 minutes of waiting and occasional clicking of "OK." there is also a large box the size of media player, but it's blank inside, and another small box linked to the media player box that's titled, "updating media library." is that the update you're all talking about, or is that a separate task that you start to fix this problem?
Welcome to wd shpladoink.
This error message and thread is about when it happens while doing a repair install on a WinXP machine. So, you are opening up MP and getting this error?
How about giving us more details about your machine and situation so we can help.
right, all i did was open up media player, and i got the error box. i hadn't used MP in a while, since i mainly use winamp for music, but i wanted to play a cd. i'm running XP sp1. i don't know much about the specs of the machine, but i just added some RAM, so that shouldn't be a problem. what other information would be necessary to help out here? i tried waiting for the box to go away, but it was there for just over an hour, and it was really getting in the way, so i just closed MP and the other little window with taskmanager.Quote:

Do you have "auto update" enabled in XP?
Which version of WMP is it? Perhaps you can download the latest version and reinstall it. Failing that, I would start a new thread about this issue so it doesn't confuse those looking at this one, and to get everyone here involved as well.
Yes i waited about 15 -30 minutes and nothing happened. I then hit constatnly for about 3-4 minutes and it went away.Quote:
