Recently, when I get my error message above (and when I restart), my computer restarts fine, but about 30 seconds after I reach the logon screen, it just restarts again. It just keeps restarting and restarting. Bamboozled by this, I just turned my computer off at the wall...and here I am - writing this on my friends computer. Can you help?

Ok, I guess there are a million ways to fix it but ill give you the ones I think are the easiest. Ok this one wills 100% not let you down, you can do a simple format and guaranteed to work. Or you can get an anti-virus (recommended: Pc-cillin or Norton) (There are many viruses that restart your computer) and do a scan. How? (Because your computer restarts after 30 seconds) Well, you can pull your hard drive, and take it to your friends place and scan it there. Also try booting up in safe mode, hopefully this all helps.

"Windows Longhorn Pro SP3"??? Sorry, have not had a chance to play with that puppy!
XP SP2 will allow you to disable the auto reboot on the same menu you find "boot to last known good config" "safe mode" etc...usually found by tapping F8 at boot.
If it blue screens, write down the error message and post it. Otherwise, head over to the malware forum as soon as you get into Windows, and follow the instructions here:

Your boot loop and your Firefox problems might not be related, but it's a good a start as any.
