Hi, my laptop was running perfectly under Windows XP Pro SP2, and suddenly
after I decided to visit Microsoft Update to make sure I patch the system for
any security issues I could be exposed to I encounter with a looped boot
problem... Unfortunately after updates were installed the system asked to
reboot the computer, which I did, and I havent been able to start Windows
again, not even in safe mode nor Last Well known confiuration.
I tryed entering the recovery console and renaming kernel32.dll to
kernel32.old and expanding a new copy from the installation CD with no
success when booting. Can you please advise me with a solution to this
problem other than reinstalling everything...

Thanks in advance,
Roger Meyers
