Hi all

A friend asked me to upgrade Windows on her laptop (she isn't networked and so hasn't had any updates for 2+ years). I downloaded SP2 and it installed ok - but when I rebooted it, it got through the scrolling blue bars, and I got "The procedure entry point SHRegGetValueW could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll." It then rebooted. I tried in Safe Mode but the same thing happened.

Am I looking at a reinstall here?

Just to complicate things the System disc is in Kenya!! But that's my problem!!

Thanks
 
Sounds more like one of the startup applications doesn't work properly. Have you tried isolating the problem with msconfig ?
 
Hi

Unfortunately I never get that far - it reboots after the scrolling blue bars - before I get to a log on screen. So I don't get into Windows to be able to do anything.

Any ideas?
