Good luck. In the future don't bother with registry cleaners, these useless programs cause more harm than good.

Thank you for your admonition concerning my use of "uppercaseing". I am grateful for your response. I did try booting to the last known good configuration to no avail. I will try your suggestion and hope it works (I am just getting into computers). Thank you John John..

Did you try booting to the Last Known Good Configuration?
If you cannot boot to LKG you will have to edit the BootExecute value at the Default ControlSet, the ControlSets are numbered as such:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003
The Default ControlSet is identified at the Select key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Select
The Select key typically contains values and data as shown here:
"Current"=dword:00000001
"Default"=dword:00000001
"Failed"=dword:00000000
"LastKnownGood"=dword:00000002
In the above example, the Default value identifies ControlSet001 as the Default Set, you would need the BootExecute value at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager
The BootExecute value is a REG_MULTI_SZ string and it should only contain the following data: autocheck autochk *
To edit the registry of the broken Windows installation you will have to mount the drive in another Windows XP computer and use Regedit to load the System hive of the broken installation, see here for easy to follow instructions: http://www.rwin.ch/xp-live/regedit.htm
