Do you have a graphical tweak program such as "StyleXP" running and have you
altered the "boot screen" in windows. this would cause the kernel error.
if so you need to disable the graphic program and revert back to the
original kernel file

disables Style XP and tried to reinstall the SP1 and it's still coming up
