Hello all,

This machine died after installing Vista SP1. It does the following:

Regular startup, last known good startup, VGA mode all do this:

Black screen with this flashing:

!!0xc0000034 !! 250/99549 (_00000000000000 .cdf-ms).



Safe mode with networking

gets to this line and stops:

Loaded c:\windows\system32\drivers\AVGIDSEH.sys

then hard drive activity stops.



Startup repair using Vista cd yields these problem details:

StartuprepairV2
sig1 = Externalmedia
sig2 = 6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6001.18000
sig3 = 6
sig4 = 524296
sig5 = BadDriver
sig6 = BadDriver
sig7 = 0
sig8 = 3
sig9 = Wrprepair
sig10 = 10


The only restore point that is available to use is from 4-24-12, when the service pack was installed. It goes so far, then says something about writing or finalizing? files, and just sits there....I have let it go for a few hours then I turned it off.

I also tried the Microsoft 975484 which involves saving and running a script on the Windows install. The script stops and says "vbscript runtime error: activeX component cannot create object 'Microsoft.xmldom'

Help!
