I appear to have the same error message/problem. I am not able to boot up
even in safe mode. I'm working on my laptop. How did you resolve this? I
understand I need to download the service pack but how can I do it if I can't
get the computer on.

I'm now having this same error. I have XP and all updates are done. Dell
told me that this is a MS Service Pack issue and I need the most current one,
but I have SP 2 which MS says is most current. What can I do to fix this?

What fatal system error? You have posted your message as a response to
someone else's thread and didn't quote any of the previous message so we
don't know the context of the error. This is a newsgroup, not a forum; many
people use a newsreader to view the messages and only download the recent
messages so the previous messages in the thread are not visible.

As a general rule you should not post a new question as an add on to someone
else's thread. Repost your question as a new thread and supply exact
wording of the error message, the context, when it occurs, info on the
system, any changes to the system before this happened, whether it running
was well before this, the malware status of the system and how that's
checked.

I obviously was replying because I got the same error as the OP, which was:

STOP: c000021a (fatal system error)
Windows login process terminated unexpectedly with status 0xc0000139
Shut down.

But thanks for the complete lesson on how to use a NEWSGROUP. :(

You didn't quote what the error was. Besides posting onto another thread is
called hijacking and should be avoided. Start your own thread. Your
hardware is different as are the conditions of the computer and what changes
you made to the system before the problem happened. You still haven't
posted any of this info.

Rock, you are incredibly annoying and not helpful in one bit. I'm writing
about a specific error code, if you can't help, go away.

In my last reply I gave a link to a website that has info on stop error
messages. The one you're receiving is listed there. It was at the end of
the reply. Did you go there? Did you read any of it?

I'm sorry but it's hard to give focused help when you hijack an old thread,
don't quote the content of that thread, and don't provide any relevant
information.

All I've tried to do is help you on how to best get help in a newsgroup.
There are conventions and protocols which exist to facilitate the use of the
newsgroups.

By the way it would be better if you kept this in the original thread. It
just so happens I remember it so I can respond knowing what you are talking
about.

One problem you have in finding the original thread is that you're using the
web interface to access what is really a newsgroup. The web interface is
lousy at best. You will have a better experience accessing newsgroups using
a newsreader. XP comes with one, Outlook Express. Here is a link on how to
setup OE for newsgroups. I have also included a link to a list of MS public
newsgroups. This one is microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.

Ok, sorry I see you did post to the original thread. I thought you had
started a new one because you didn't quote anything from the thread to show
the context. It would still be worthwhile to look into using a newsreader
instead of the web interface. When replying to a message it's a good idea
to quote at least part of the message to which you reply to show the
context.

I use a newsreader and only download the recent messages so I don't see the
previous messages in the thread. This is common when with use of a
newsreader hence the reason why one should quote some of the message.

Good luck.
