First post but not n00b.

Mods: threads like this scare off n00bs. Who you trying to help - n00bs or the jumped up little tw@s who *think they* know it all anyway?

Anyway, onto topic: Got the same error as OP and for the record I don't have SP3 installed. Successfully boots at random so nothing to do with 'last known...'. Other issues include - device manager not working, AO'Hell' or IE not working, not shutting down or restarting even in safe mode and using msconfig... list goes on.

Not really seen an answer that hasn't been contradicted by someone else (you friendly lot) so even though this is not hardware related and therefore should be fixable I'm going to reinstall OS. Will post results if successful!

BTW: Kaspersky scanned clean but this is a customer’s PC and I still believe it may be result of a virus.

Peace love and little fluffy chicks out to n00bs!

EDIT: "--jumped up little tw@s--" Sorry, that doesn't count to everyone on this thread... looks like some are actually *trying* to help!

Fixed.
