For R&D on new windows technology, user will always keep on trying the new software or the latest version update or software especially for Windows Update and also Service Pack, user are more excited to have a first view. But did you think Microsoft also will have a leg-pull on you.

It happened to me. I had downloaded Windows XP Services Pack 3 RC 2 and try to install to my computer, all running smooth. After complete the installation it will require to reboot the system, and then I just follow the instruction to reboot it. After reboot and after the windows loading page it show out “Please wait …” 1 minute later the system keep on restart and restart, I had try the following solution but fail.

Failure Solution:-

1) Reboot to Safe Mode.

2) Press F8 and the run Windows on Last Known Good Configuration.

3) Run chkdsk /r command.

I start to worry about it because worse come to worse I have to reformat my system. But luckily my colleague found a solution and this time it’s the real solution to solve it. The solution as below:

Success Solution: -

1) Insert Windows XP CD and the boot from the CD.

2) After Windows Setup loading press “R” to enter the Recovery Console.

3) When you enter the recovery console it will ask you to select the keyboard mapping, just select US and then press enter.

4) After that it will need to select which drive your need to enter, if you just have 1 HDD just press 1 and then press enter for entering.

5) In this moment it will ask you for your system administrator login password, you will have 3 chances to enter.

6) After enter the password u will see a command prompt c:\windows> then type cd servicepackfiles and then enter.

7) When you see c:\windows\servicepackfiles> type cd i386 then press enter.

8) When you see c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386> type copy gdi32.dll c:\windows\system32\ and the press enter.

9) After press enter is will prompt out and question to ask you want to overwrite the following file or not, just press Y to allow it overwrite the file.

10) After copy completed just restart you system with normal mode. System will reload your desktop and some software but don’t worry all your files and software still there. After the loading done then your windows is fine.
