Hi.

You are going to have to run a repair install on your windows XP

Hi.

You are going to have to run a repair install on your windows XP

Only if starting in safe mode & 'last known good' both fail.

That's a good point you should always try safe mode and last known good but
all the cases we have dealt with where this was a problem needed to ether
run a repair install or go into the repair install and replace the files
manually. But try the safe mode and last known good first option first its
always a good idea
