Guys-
I'm hosed. I was registering the AVAST home version and my system locked up during a virus scan. Had to reboot, and no matter what I choose to come up in (SAFE mode, last good, etc.) my computer will show the initial XP running screen and then reboot. Here is the text I was planning to send to AVAST, hopefully, someone here might know how to turn my computer into a computer instead of a papeweight. Thanks.

What are the steps to reproduce the bug again?
I had just entered the registration Key, had updated the virus list,
and was running a scan of my hard drives. When I returned to my system
later, the save screen was up and the system was hung. I rebooted, and
now XP is booting in a continuous loop. No matter if I try to go to
Safe mode or last good configuration, it will still continually loop, like
the reset button is being pressed.
Do any error messages appear? NO.
