After 08-12-2009 Updates processed, getting a c000021a fatal error, with 0xc0000142 error code

Question:Running XP Home, SP3 all security updates installed through 08-12-2009. After the last round of updates downloaded and processed, on reboot, the machine is in reboot loop out to a blue screen with c000012a fatal error, with error code of 0xc0000142.  Attempts to use the Repair Facility on the XP Install disk fails, as the disk does not find a valid XP installation on the machine.  Using another boot tool, I can see that all the directory structure and files are still on the C drive as they should be.  Safe Boot or attempts to go back to last known working configuration do not work either.

How do I get out of this situation?

I do have access to a registry editor at this point.
