can not boot up to windows xp

Robert Moyer,

I doubt if your hard drive is failing.  The error message you are receiving appears to be related to a COM+ module.  Have you tried booting up in Safe Mode. (Press F8 about two times per second after Dell logo and before Windows starts).  Select Safe Mode.  If computer boots, use System Restore to restore XP to a time immediately before your error started.
