Ronen and others wondering how to apply the fix, since you can’t boot into normal mode, and since you can’t apply fix’s in safe mode…

What you want to do is boot into safe mode (Hit F8 at startup), and go into the control panel and click on the “Recovery” icon and then click on “Open System Restore”.

In System Restore, click on “choose a different restore point” if necessary, so that you can get to a list of restore points. Each time there is an update installed or program installed, a restore point is added to this list.

So from this point, you just back track down the list (a little time consuming) reverting backwards each update/install (which requires a reboot each time) untill you get a stable bootup.

This can take a while, and each time you restore a previous state, it gets added as a new state at the top of the list, so i suggest taking out a piece of paper and writing down the list before you start.

Once windows boots normally, you can apply the fix, and reinstall anything needed.

Hope this helps.
