I've done several XP "Repair" procedures several years back and those experiences left me feeling confident in
performing the procedure.  This time, I am feeling like I know nothing.  Something new has been introduced into the
game, probably through the updates.

again and again. I have tried "last good config," but it makes no difference.
I try to access safe mode, but it won't let me get further than trying - it
too returns me to  constant  rebooting. i chose ...

What is it?  And how would you go about getting rid of it?

I've run into a strange problem only on my wife's computer. Whenever
