Hi Sean,

StyleXP has modified the ntoskrnl file (in an attempt to change the splash
screen). You will need to extract the file from withing Windows XP Recovery
Console.

Description of Recovery Console:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314058

If that does not help, perform a repair installation of Windows:

(A repair install will undo all the hotfixes and service packs applied
earlier. So, you will need to re-apply them later.)

I changed my boot screen using StyleXP, I restarted to
see the new boot screen, and I got the blue screen saying
there was a fatal error and that the comptuer was
stopped.  The ntoskrnl.exe file is probably not able to
be used, or maybe the copy of the other ntoskrnl.exe file
is corrupting everything.
Either way, I can't get into Windows, not even safe mode,
and I also tried to boot from the last working
configuration.

Please help me, I'm a nerd without his computer!
