New XP Update yesterday - today won't boot

[Guest nnord]

Hi - I can't boot up my XP Home today - it hangs after I click my User icon,

and never reads "Loading ..."

Yesterday it installed a Windows automatic update when I turned it off in

the morning.

Anyone had any similar problems?

 

I"ve started up, pressing F8 to get in Safe Mode, and then

I've tried "Last known good configuration", but think I tried that after too

many restart attempts, because it made no difference.

I"ve tried "System Restore Point" from 2 days ago, but that "failed".

Next, I will try to remove yesterday's Update

Any ideas?

Update - it was not a Windows update, but an Office 2003 SP3 update - I"ll go

check out the support for that...
