it might be a virus there are a few going around that do that a d or p
netsky will also do that in fact
only suggest put in xp or 98 startup disk tye surching for the registry
files with reg???.*
Then try to manualy delet the reg files. Re-start the xp it should in
theory bypass the startup screen. saying you have you registry present.
Goto command prompt
a dos prompt type scanreg see if it help to get it back up and running.
If it does do to your anti-virus providers site and get the update they
are going wacko right now.
give it a shoot if not you may have to re-install it from scratch with a
startup disk fdisk re-do it last resort try the top one tell me after if
it works.
