Reboot loop after running system restore

[sprocket]

Sorry I post this on win 2000 group so I'm re-asking for XP
I tried to unistall a program that I had 2 versions installed. My
uninstalll program uninstalled the wrong version so I tried a system
restore. After the system restore was complete the pc rebooted and is
stuck in a loop. I have the option of safe mode etc "last working
configuration" or just let the clock go and it will restart. No matter
which option I pick it will not finish booting and just start over and
over.
What do I do to fix this?

Try a repair install.

Hi,

Can you boot into Safe Mode and undo the restore point?

I can't boot in safe mode or any of the other options.
If I choose Safe mode It just restarts.
If I let the timer go it resarts and the loops begins.
I took it to my Pc guru premature I should have tried repair install.
Being a holiday I can't get access to my PC

Yes, perform the repair install as Rock suggested.
