By chance do you have an AMD Opetron processor or an AMD-64 ?

btw, the shutdown article at Aumha is excellent.

p.s. This should shed a little light on Event ID 7026 with Service Control manager. This link is to MS Technet site.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/result.aspx...

Your system had been failing to load a whole bunch of drivers ---- many of which were network protocols.

Is this pc a stand-alone, or do you have a network ? a desktop pc, or notebook? brand name?
Do you now (or before) have a 3rd-party software firewall ? I'm trying to see if you had 1 firewall already & if SP2 activated its Windows Firewall.
Another possibility on Event ID 7026 (long shot) is that somehow it got configured for a serial mouse, but you have a PS2 mouse.
While XP SP2 was available (and even now) I'd go to Control Panel > Devices & do a review.

Thankyou for the replies and Kaylene also. The article Kaylene mentioned is
not applicable to my system. I do not have mpegport.sys on my system. In
answer to Maurice's question, this is a standalone, desktop pc. I use
Zonealarm Pro as my firewall. I cannot tell which version of the AMD chip I
have. The information I get from a chip finding utility from AMD is:

AMD Duron(tm) Processor
AuthenticAMD
Speed: 1196 MHz
L1 Data Cache: 64kb
L1 Inst Cache: 64kb
L2 Cach: 64 kb
Family.Model,Step: 6.7.1
MMX: YES
Extended MMX: YES
3DNOW!(tm): YES
Extended 3DNOW!(tm): YES


I have a PS2 mouse. All othere peripherals were disconnected prior to the
update.

Thanks again for the informations.

Your AMD Duron should be ok.
Which peripherals did you *disconnect* at SP2 update? and by chance do they use any of those *failing-to-load drivers* ?

You need to experiment to see what may be in your Startup group programs that 'could' possibly cause problem.
You have to do some research (in MS groups & in Google groups) to see what each one of the drivers belongs to.

Use MSCONFIG to minimize all user/add-on startup apps. Does that make a difference?

Problem solved. I disabled reboot on error and when the machine next
started, it told me a file btaudio.sys was trying to use memory that could
not be allocated to it. This file is for my bluetooth dongle audio. I
disabled the file and the boot went ahead as normal. Thankyou all for your
input. Just a little time and patience and some great help from "You Guys"
let me get to the root of the problem.

Once again, Thanks.

I am really so glad this is solved. Good going. And you are welcome. And btw, thank "you" for posting back.
We all learn something this way. Here's what I learned from your post ---- bluetooth audio device .. uses "btaudio driver".
