Windows XP

[river]

Hi guys,

I have been left with a big problem. One of my colleagues force switched off his laptop whilst Windows XP was installing Windows updates. As a results it will not boot up properly. It boots up to the just before the login page and seems to get stuck on the blue background with a lovely Windows flag.

I have tried to boot using Last Know Good Configuration, also tried Safe Mode, neither of which has worked so far.

Help!!!!

Probably a Repair Install is your best option . . These are good guides to performing a repair install
