Re: No boot after SP2 - Virtual Memory error



Hi,

Hit F8 at the initial bootup to get the menu. Choose Safe Mode with Command
Prompt. Logon, then from the prompt (C:\>), run
C:\Windows\System32\Restore\rstrui.exe to open the System Restore GUI. SP2
setup will have created a point as a safeguard that will allow you to revert
back to it in the event of a failed installation.
