Jump to PostWhat did you install?
Jump to PostThis error normally occurs when something went wrong with installing SP2. Perhaps the program you installed used some old config.
Anyway, to solve the problem you'll have to repair windows with the XP cd.
What did you install?

[edit] Found something else, you could try it [/edit]
sp2 was already installed , so it has to be mgi photo suite that i was installing . don't have a xp disk as windows xp was already installed on my lap top , ive been told that i can recover the system but ill lose all data , which includes all family photos (yes i know i should of back them up ) currently pricing up data retreivale before i recover the system and lose everything
You can use Puppylinux or Knoppix to salvage your files before recovering. And recovering != Formatting
