XP startup prob: blue screen Closed

Question

Hello,
I am new here, and I'm desperate for some help with my Windows XP Pro machine. (I think I'm running SP2, but I can't be 100% sure; it's been a long time since I used this machine.) Apologies in advance for this post's length; I really am not sure what to do here and have tried some things already, and would really appreciate any help you can give me.
I have not used this computer for the past couple of years, and the few times I've tried to turn it on recently, I get a blue screen that reads:
STOP: c000021a  {fatal system error} 
session manger initialization process terminated unexpected y with a status of 0xc000026c(0x00000000 0x00000000),
the system has been shut down

Hello,  

Try this 1  

1) When you switch ON your computer, start tapping the "F8" key to get  

"Windows Advanced Options"( if boot menu appears, press "Esc" key and  

keep tapping the F8 key)  

2) Select the option "Last Known Good Configuration".  

If the problem still exists then follow the step 1 and select the option "Safe Mode"  

Let me know if you are able to boot into Safe Mode.  

Good Luck

Try to use system optimizer like intel software partner Reginout that will not only fix registry errors but will also speed up pc.
