Just had a call from my son, who, having installed SP2 is now in an endless loop.
He has a Dell Inspirion 2610 laptop, 256 k ram, P4 1.6, and XP home.
Having installed SP2 the machine said it was rebooting, after it had done so it said "unable to find/locate WINSRV"
From this situation the only alternatives he has are to reboot or reset, and doing either only results in a repeat of the above message.
Anyone got any suggestions ?
