windows xp keeps rebooting

[Don]

Please help.
I download the micosoft windows updates and when I
rebooted as requested it will NOT load. It keeps
rebooting and rebooting. What should I do?

Hi,

Hit F8 at startup (just before Windows begins to load, but after the initial
POST), try Safe mode. If you can get there, go to the Control Panel/Add &
Remove and uninstall the updates.

If not, try Safe mode with command prompt. From there, you can manually do a
system restore by running this from the prompt:

C:\Windows\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

This will start the System Restore gui where you can go back a day.

Even if you go into Safe Mode?

Don;
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select "Last known good configuration" at the menu.

If that fails, reboot tapping F8, this time choose Safe Mode.
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System tools/System Restore
Choose Date/Time before issue started.

Otherwise perform a Repair Installation:
