When i boot windows, at the login screen an error saying "The application of dll C:\windows\system32\atsc51.dll isnt a valid image. Please check this against your installation diskette." Then after i hit ok and login as owner, another error saying "winlogon.exe. The instruction at '0x77f5b2ab referenced Memory at 0x00000037 couldnt be 'read'". Ive tried boot from last know good location and the same thing happens. I wish i could use scanreg but i never get into windows. I've tried everything i can think of and i have no idea what to do. If i could just restore everything to how it was a couple of days ago i think that would help. Thanks in advance.

Put the WIN XP CD in the tray and reboot and then choose REPAIR option.
