can't boot computer - not the blaster worm

[shawno]

I get the following blue screen just before XP brings up
the logon page:
STOP: C000021a{Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process terminated unexpectedly with a
status of 0x00000080
The system has been shut down.

I had that blaster worm virus last week in which your
computer keeps rebooting, but I cleaned that up with the
Norton fix and also applied the latest microsoft patches.
Is this another virus?
Need help as I also use this computer for work. Please
reply to this newsgroup as I rarely check that email
account.

Try doing a repair install.
Boot from the XP cd, and when prompted hit enter to begin setup. Press F8 to
accept the license agreement. It will then search and find your existing XP
install. Select it, and choose R for repair. Back up any important data
files before you do this in case something goes wrong.
