windows XP continuous reboot

[Eric]

Hello,
I have a compaq evo n800v with windows xp pro that's been
running fine until yesterday. Have been keeping up with
the updates and service packs, etc.
Yesterday as I was using IE, windows crashed, and then
proceeded to do what looked to be disk check or
something. I'm not sure what it did but I noticed files
being deleted and created, and I believe registry edits
also (not sure). And then after it was done doing it
successfuly, it reboots, and has been stuck in a
continuous reboot ever since. It would go to the windows
xp screen, and then black screen, and then a really quick
flash blue screen with this error message:
Stop:C000021a {fatal system error}
the session manager initialization failed. system
process terminated unexpectedly.
status of 0xC0000034(0x0...)
the system has been shutdown

And then it would reboot again, and again. Could not
reboot the last known good configuration, or the safe
mode. In safe mode it loads up to agp440.sys.
I have not added any hardware, or new software
installation.
any ideas?
Thanks alot in advance

Eric

Assuming that you do not have the
Windows XP Recovery Console installed
and that such stuff is beyond the scope of
normal people anyway, and failing better
advice from a more advanced user than me
on this thread, perhaps your easiest route
to reparation is booting from the Windows XP
installation CD-ROM as though you were going
to install Windows XP again. Then, when the
installation wizard prompts you to "repair" the
current installation of Windows XP (as it most
assuredly will prompt you), tell it YES, you want
to repair the current installation.

Voilà! 39 minutes later, you should come out
of the dark tunnel in which you now find yourself.
Windows XP should work! Let me emphasize,
SHOULD!

Happy reparations!
