Use a registry backup dated before you installed the service pack.
  • Boot while holding the CTRL key to enter the boot menu.
  • Select the COMMAND PROMPT ONLY option and press enter.
  • From the C:\> prompt, type SCANREG /RESTORE and press enter.
  • When the restore screen appears, select a backup dated before this problem occurred and then restart the system. (A properly working registry has the word 'Started' next to the date)
