ntdll.dll problem

    Hay Hope someone can help me,

    Once again back here to ask the people who know.

    Reinstalled XP Pro Sp1 about 2 weeks ago on a computer.. Had sorted out the annoying little things that have to be done to make the computer work the way my friend wanted.

    Today went and after finally finishing it off for him decided to do a Windows Update... 28Updates, dont know which ones. One failed but the rest D/loaded and installed properly, Restarted the machine and now it wont start.

    Tried to do a Safe Mode start and it is freezing on system32/ntdll.dll

    Cant even get into Safe mode to Sys Restore..

    If I take his drive out and put it in mine, copy ntdll.dll between drives will this work, or it usual to fail on the driver that is next inline... ie ntdll.dll has loaded but the next one is causing the problems.

    Or should I just install XP Pro over the current version.

    Also does anyone know which of the updates caused the problem or is it caused by something else.

    Any suggestions would be grateful..

    Cannon

    boot from the xp cd and repair the system...

    when you get into windows again install windows xp service pack two...

    simple enough...

    if ye need a walkthrough give me a shout

    Thanks Matt.

    Was able to boot into Safe Mode after booting from the XP disk but could not log in normally.

    Uninstalled the Updates, logged in normally and then uninstalled the Updates again...

    Thanks again
