Computer won't boot. Services.exe entry point not found

When I try to boot the computer, it looks like it is
trying to start normally up until the last part when I
should see my desk top. The screen then goes black and I
get: "Services.exe -Entry Point Not Found" window with
the message: "the procedure entry point_resetskoflw could
not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll."
I tried booting in the "Safe mode" but I had similar
results. Any ideas what to do next? What caused this?
Thanks,

Robb
 
Try picking the last good configuration in the startup options, where u
picked safe mode.
 
Error Message: Procedure Entry Point Not Found in Msvcrt.dll File

Solution:
Insert your Windows XP CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer from the CD-ROM.

NOTE: Some computers may require that you modify the basic input/output system (BIOS) settings before you can start the computer from a CD-ROM. For information about how to modify BIOS, see your computer documentation.
At the Welcome to Setup screen, press R to start the Recovery Console.
Press the number key that corresponds to the installation that you want to repair, and then press ENTER.
Type the Administrator password, and then press ENTER.
With the Windows XP CD-ROM still in the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command: cd system32
ren msvcrt.dll msvcrt.old
CD-ROM_or_DVD-ROM_Drive_Letter:
cd \i386
expand msvcrt.dl_ BootDriveLetter:\windows\system32
exit
