I installed the latest update for Windows XP using the 1-2-
3 service. During installation an error message came up
saying something about not being able to delete a certain
file. I should have written down the message, but did
not. I clicked "Continue" and the install finished and
reported that it was successfully installed and that the
computer needed to be rebooted. I rebooted and got a
basic DOS-looking screen that said "Sorry for the
inconvenience..." I've tried all of the options on this
screen: Safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode
with command prompt, last good configuration, and get
nowhere. The computer just boots back to the same "Sorry"
screen. Help!!

>Most likely you will need to boot to the XP CD for a

repair type re-install of XP or use the Recovery Console
from the XP CD which is rather tricky to fix things.
