XP Logon gone

[Todd]

When trying to boot up my XP pro laptop this am, my user
name/password was not available. Hitting ctrl-alt-del
brought up my user name, but password was not accepted.
I tried logon name Administrator with no password, but to
no avail. Doing a repair setup from the CD nets me the
following error:

Sub-Component COM+ raised an exception while processing
the OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION setup message
d:\nt\com\com1
x\src\complussetup\comsetup\ccompluscatalogsetup.cpp
(line472)
Error Code 0x80070534

A search at MS gives a response for the error as such:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;283139

Which quite honestly is bunk, since if I can't logon I
can't download updates. I did not change account names
on this computer, so what gives? Virus?

And is there a recovery option that won't require a
complete reinstall?

Thank you

Did you get any response to this, I have a similar problem.

I had to reinstall XP into the windows folder, grabbed all of my files, and
then just blew the pc away and reinstalled everything.

And no, I didn't get a response. But it has to have been something that
came through an update, because it seems a lot of people are having this
issue.
