Do you happen to have any USB devices connected, such as a Joystick or scanner?

If you do, you will need to un-install and re-install those drivers.

i have none nor do i have any pci devices either.

Check in the SYSTEM EVENT VIEWER to see what the VXD error is linked to.
Copy the info along with the Error Code and post it here.

Sorry about that. Guess I missedthat it was ME.

Can you boot in safe mode or at all?

This might be of help to you pinpointing the problem.
