While working on my parents' HP laptop running XP I decided to check for any
security upgrades. Since they had automatic upgrades shut off, the MS website
indicated that there were 58 critical upgrades, so I initiated the
download/installation process.
That was the last time the computer worked correctly. After the upgrades
were installed, the computer was restarted; it has been continuously
rebooting since. It makes it no further than the XP splash screen before it
powers down and starts all over again.
I tried to run it in Safe Mode, same thing. I tried start it in Last Good
Configuration, same thing.
I tried to boot it from an XP setup disk, and the following message appeared
before it shut itself down: INF file txtsetup.sif is corrupted or missing,
status 32768.
I have tried to search for information regarding that line, but haven't
found anything that I can do, since the computer won't run enough to work on
it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
