How do I fix a Visual C++ Error?

Question

When I start my computer, it gets as far as the users screen, and then goes black. A message appears saying there is a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Error" coming from "aluschedulersvc." This is from Symnatec Live Update on Windows XP. Any ideas? Bear in mind that I can't get into my computer; it boots, displays the error message, and restarts itself. Obviously, this question is coming from a separate computer.

Hi. If you have already tried 'Safe mode' then you may have to boot from the original CD. Worst case is a re-install.
