Turning off the pc while MS updates are installing can cause serious problems.

You will probably need an XP disc to be honest and try and run a Repair.
Can you get into SAFE MODE or SAFE MODE with Command Prompt?

Items in blue which are underlined are clickable to give more information about the process
Start the System Restore Utility at a command prompt
1. Restart your computer, and keep tapping F8 during the initial start-up until you get options, select Safe Mode with a Command Prompt then press enter.
2. Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account that has administrator credentials.
3. Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe
4. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to restore your computer to an earlier state.
Look for the most recent system checkpoint created before the errors to restore from

Keith- LOL yeah i missed something. I assure you I re typed three times before the last post. Don't know what I missed but this time it worked.
Doire- The prompt before I ran the boot disks wouldn't let me type anything. It just went black and locked up after the Manufacterers screen flashed but it still had a prompt in the top left of the screen that was flashing but wouldn't let me enter anything. The boot disk worked except I got MAC floppys the first time I was at wal mart and I had to go back and exchange them. I didn't know that MAC's had floppy drives. What I was telling Keith was the prompt after I ran the boot disks and started in safe mode with command prompt.
Pretty cool of both of to help people out. I'm sure alot of people are in debt to you.
Anyhow Computer Restored.

Probably not a command prompt originally, just the point where XP stopped loading
Thank You for letting us know
You may want to check Microsoft Update (if you are in the mood for it yet)

Good to hear all is well.
Keep those gremlins away from your computer next time updates are installing. Its annoying when they keep turning off your pc.
