XP Pro Bootup!

Ihor
I've just picked up my mother-in-law's desktop, at her request to fix it. On boot-up a blue screen appears with the message:autochk file not found and the computer reboots to this same message continually! Any help would be appreciated.

Avalanche
When I run outlook I usually just load it up, check my email and if there is none to be had, I promptly shut it down. Up until yesterday this hasn't been a problem, but last night I had reason to CTRL-SHIFT-ESC to bring up the Task Manager and I found that I had like 9 OUTLOOK.
