XP - will not boot up

[Guest]

When I turn on my computer I get:
Secutity accounts manager initialization failed. Handle is invalid. Error
status oxe0000008.
It then tells me to boot up in safe mode but when I try the exact same
message appears and I can't even boot in safe mode.
Please help! Thanks!

I'm not too sure about this, but you might have to
perform a repair on your computer using the Win XP disc.

That will show you how to perform a repair installation,
but before you do that, hopefully people will comment on
what to do. If you decide to do a repair, read everything
on the link CAREFULLY.

Can you please re-post the error status code - it doesn't compute ATM?
