WinXP home problem after SP2 install

[Guest]

Hi.

I downloaded and installed XP without any errors. When it rebooted however,
i can only get as far as the logon screen without any names [admin, guest
etc]) to click on. I tried ctrl+alt+del a couple times and i get no results.
Alt+f4 doesn't even do anything. i booted in safe mode; same results. I tried
to revert back to last good settings; nothing.

what can i do to fix this? I need my laptop back -_-

Here are a few troubleshooting links:

I would also check on your laptop mftr.'s website to see if there are
any caveats about applying SP2 on their systems.
