Windows restarting

[Mike Buraczewski]

Hello to all

I have a Windows XP computer that will not complete the
windows startup. It goes through the normal startup, very
quickly flashes an error message that I have only been
able to get glimses of and then restarts. This happens
endlessly. I have tried safe mode, same results, last
known good configuraton, same results, replaced the
kernel32.dll file, same results. The best information I
have so far is some of the words from the error message
are:

stop 00000135 unable to locate component

any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Mike

Hi Mike,

Try a repair installation. Follow these steps to do a repair install which
should preserve your data, settings, and programs:

1. Insert the Windows XP CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM
drive.
2. Restart your computer. If you have to, change the BIOS settings to start
from
the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer again.
3. At the "Welcome to Setup" page, press ENTER.
4. Press F8 to accept the Licensing Agreement.
5. Use the arrow keys to select the installation of Windows XP that you want
to
repair, and then press R to start the automatic repair process.
6. When Setup is completed, activate Windows XP.

Note that you will need your Product Key for this procedure, so have it
handy before you begin.
