I installed SP3 and it told me to restart when a black screen came up saying something like "Windows startup was unsuccessful" the options were Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Last Known Good Configuration (your most recent settings that worked), Start Windows Normally. I tried Start windows normally it just went through windows loading and came back to the same screen, I tried Last known good configuration, It did the same thing. I then went on safe mode and it showed me a list I think of all the drivers. It then took me to the startup screen where I chose my account not administrator. I then restored my computer to before as I had created a restore point just before installing. My computer is now back to normal but Rorschach112 told me I needed to update to SP3 or SP3 and Rorschach sent me here to fix the problem.
