Can you return your system to the last date everything worked?
I learned, the hard way, to create a system restore date when everything was going along smoothly, and immediately before installing anything new. If a problem arose, I could jump back.
Search your help facility to see if you can't return your system to an earlier date. If not, can you uninstall SP2?

whilst new hardware or incompatible drivers are starting to be loaded the pc starts in risk-free mode. After the gadget rebooted in safemode, restart as quickly as lower back, generally the concern will gets fastened after restart.

If you have the XP Disc, put it in and boot to it and try to Repair Windows.

If you can get in in safe mode, I would system restore if I were you... service pack 2 does more harm than good in my experience

just re-install and it will solve your problem, please dont select repair, it will ask in which drive/directory please select local disk c as you must have installed in the same earlier and its the default too, if not then select the one you did last and then it will say already exist press L to delete please delete it and it will be all fine.
