One of my favorite messages that. I had a customer with a particular machine that would do that when installing ANY software that required a reboot. Then no matter how many times it rebooted it would do the same. It was something about the motherboard but never figured out just what.I just worked around it this way:
ctrl-alt-del once.
ctrl-esc.
old task manager comes up.
run c:\windows\system\msgsvr32.exe
the install cleanup finishes.
no more problem untill next time someone installs software.
Never found a fix for that particular mobo and I tried everything I could find including clean install with no advanced drivers.
