Installing Service Pack #2

[Guest]

Just recently, my friend told me I should really update my computer and keep
it updated with all the new stuff. Well I downloaded and installed SP2 and
when it prompted me to restart the computer I did. Everything was loading up
fine and when I got to the "Welcome" screen, I heard the log on sound and
then a blue screen came on saying "Your computer has been shut down to
prevent harm being done to it etc."

Anyway to fix this stuff?

How to use the Automatic Recovery feature to recover your computer if the
Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup program is not completed successfully:

Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select "Last known good configuration" at the menu.
If that fails, reboot tapping F8 again this time choosing Safe Mode.
Then System Restore to Date/Time before issue started:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore

Otherwise perform a Repair Installation:
