Problems with XP and SP2 Boot after SP2 install

I have people on the MS Help site that Don't know about Major Geeks and they have a Question.
"
I have a boot up problem with Windows xp ? we get to the Windows logo and a
blue screen flashes up (fraction of a second to quick to read) with white
writing on, then reboots and comes to the black screen with last known
config - start windows normally - safe mode etc!!.
it do not matter what I press, I can not seem to boot in to Windows??.
If I select safe mode! this halts at Windows/system32/drivers/mup.sys.
any suggestions on how to just copy this driver over or is there a fix..
Please be gentle with your replies."

Can Major Geeks help people like this?

 

As for the flashing blue screen with text that you couldn't read, go to Control Panel, click on System, click on the Advanced tab, and at the bottom you will see an option Startup and Recovery. Click on it, and half to three fourths of the way down the options, you should see an option, reboot on failure, and it should have a check mark in the box. Uncheck the box and click on ok, and exit out of control panel. Unchecking the box, should make Windows display the BSOD with the error code that caused it, without automatically rebooting. As for the Microsoft tech issue, I can't help. Take this up with Adrynalyne. Hope the information helps.

 

Please disreguard my post, as I did not read your's fully before repling. I tried to delete it with the edit function, but it didn't work for me!
