RE: Windows XP for Home Updates

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Has anyone found a solution to this problem.

I recently installed SP2 on my HP Pavillion notebook and now I get the
following message:

> "STOP: c0000218 {Registry file failure}

It restarts over and over and does not continue booting.
