Stop C000021a error

This is a followup to my previous thread "Registry Cannot Load the Hive..."

Recently, I was unable to start Windows XP Home and went through a number of
steps.

What had happened is that one of my memory DIMS was defective which
corrupted a lot of things on Windows Start up. I've used the recovery
console to do a repair and I ran a repair install after uninstalling IE8 and
Service Pack 3. When the repair install completed it reboots as it should, I
get the Windows screen then it indicates that it is is "continuing with
setup". a few seconds later, I get the

"Stop C000021a Fatal System error the Windows Logon Process System Porcess
terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0X0000135..... the system has been
shut down"

I'm going through the process now of uninstalling the patches and updates
that are on my system since I think the fact that it cant Logon probably has
something to do with Windows having The Original XP Home service pack 2
files restored but newer files on the system that might be conflicting.

Any ideas as to what my next steps might be?

Thanks,

After much difficulty, I finally got the repair install to run completely. I
had to use my clone disk to restore the system files from my backup disk to
a folder on the C drive, then copy the files to the root directory.

XP started, but the Network and Internet aren't running and aren't correctly
configured. I'll work on that next. Then I guess I should install service
pack 3, then IE8 which I had uninstalled, then do all the Microsoft updates.
