|I turned off XP System Restore prior to attempting removal of Sassen virus.  I was then unable to turn SR 
back on.  I have tried all of the fixes provided on this forum for turning it back on, to no avail.  As a last 
resort, I just tried to reload XP.  While the CD was running, I got the following error:

| "The signature for Windows XP Professional Upgrade is invalid:  The error code is 426.  The service has not 
been started.  *** FATAL ERROR *** Setup failed to install the product catalogs.  This is a fatal error.  The 
setup logs should contain more information.

| Now what?
