This problem has worked. to copy the GDI32.DLL from the servicepackfiles map.

Be carefull with the service pack 3 RC2 v5503
I is NOT a regulated update.

I will quote from the tech net forum :
“While this update is available for anyone, remember that it is pre-release software, is time-limited, and is intended for IT professionals, developers, and other technically-inclined individuals that are comfortable using pre-release software.”

Yes, that worked. Silly Microsoft screwing up yet another Windows update. I used NTFS DOS and system boots again. Right into the “do you want to turn on auto update option” - which caused the problem in the first place, ironic!

Just installed XP SP3 on 2 AMD based Computers, 1 HP 64 and 1 Gateway 64X2. Went to Safe Mode, did Run sc config intelppm start=disable, installed SP3 and everything works. Here is the link to the page with additional info.

Did not have to do GDI32.dll fix.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks
