After login XP immediately shuts down

[andrew_...@yahoo.com]

I am having a lot of luck with Linux Puppy on a pendrive. That is what I am sending this message through.

I wanted a i386 directory in XP, so I dled sp3 and installed it and got that i386 dir.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of problems after rebooting.

73 instances of explorer opened, and about 4 errors with other things.

Of course, the ever useless event viewer was empty of any errors.

I stopped aclntusr.exe and kusrinit.exe and when I login, XP immediately tells me it is saving my settings and it shuts down.

I tried BartPE, but it doesn't let you run services to get programs restarted.

Windows Install disk didn't help much either. It got me to a recovery console but I forgot how to use it.
