Cannot Start Windows

I had been using my computer for an entire day and
decided to install SP2. I'm

pretty sure I ran a Iolo System Mechanic PC Maintenance
Wizard and an Ad-Aware

CE Scan some time before my restart. The only problem
with this wizard is that

you have to restart for the changes to take affect. When
I finally had SP2

loaded and the Wizard had been done for a while now, I
restarted my computer.

I left my computer for about an hour and came back and it
still had been

restarting continuously for that whole time I was gone.

When it restarts it goes through the boot process and
goes to the windows

loading menu with the moving load bar. It finishes that
and then comes to a

black screen and exactly 10 seconds later(timed) this
error message pops up

with a blue screen of death for exactly 1 second. I
couldn't even read it so I

had to take a digital camera and snap shot it the
instance it appeared. The

error message said:
"STOP: c0000135 (Unable To Locate Component)
This application has failed to start because winsrv was
not found.

Re-installing
the application may fix this problem"
I can't even run safe mode to diagnose the problem. It
gave me the same error

message. Can someone help me out here? It would be good
if I didn't have to

reinstall windows, because that is just the easy way out.
Maybe it is an SP2

error with incompatablility with System Mechanic and Ad-
Aware CE???
