If you cannot repair the registry using the method in the link below, and get a similar error when trying to load the registry with Recovery console, you will have no choice but to reinstall windows completely.
This a registry corruption error and you must use the Recovery Console to make the repairs.
The Recovery Console in found earlier in the sequence when setup from the XP CD is running. It is on the page BEFORE the "F8 to accept agreement". There is an option to select "R" for the Recovery Console"
Reboot with your XP CD in the drive. Watch for "Press any key to boot from the CD" and do it quickly. If you miss it you will have to reboot and try again.
Setup will copy a lot of files.
Then you will see the page with the option to select "R" for the Recovery Console"
"If you cannot repair the registry using the method in the link below, and get a similar error when trying to load the registry with Recovery console, you will have no choice but to reinstall windows completely."
I'm getting this problem too.
My computer got me to the recovery console, but I can't figure out what to do. I restarted it and left it for a while, and then it booted Windows like normal (at 800*600). Is it fixed, or is it just trying to get on my nerves even more?
