Last Windows Update Problem (not booting even in safe mode)

Hi

After the last automatic windows update (09 Jul 08) the notebook is
booting in a loop.

Boot -> Black screen with the mouse cursor -> restart.

This happens also in the safe-mode. No applications/hardware were
installed in the meantime.

If I make a repair from the Vista DVD I get the message:
(approx. translation from German)

Found error source:
A patch is preventing the system start.
Action taken: checking integrity and repairing the system files.
Error code : 0xa

I can send the error detail to Microsoft but this doesn't help me much :P

I don't have a repair point set or the repair application cannot find one.


Does anyone have an idea how can I fix it?
It is possible to uninstall an "patch" from the repair cd?
I would really don't want to re-install everything because is a company
notebook with a lot of stuff installed.

Any help will be much appreciated.


P.S. Windows Ultimate x86 no SP1, dell xps 1330

I'm glad to here I'm not the only one with exactly the same problem, I
hope someone can help, I'm completely stuck at the moment

Try booting with the Vista DVD and do a System Restore to before you
installed the patch. There is also free support for issues related to
updates if System Restore doesn't work.

Following my earlier posting, I have been into Advance Boot Options -
Last known Good Configuration, Safe Mode, Repair, System Recovery all
fail to resolve the problem.
Blue error screen with errrors: 0x0000007B
(0X81005BA0,0XC0000034,0X00000000,0X00000000)
I cannot get past the Stop message.

Follow Malke's advice and boot with the dvd and do a system restore.

Thank you - you are absolutely correct, it is working fine now.
This was the first time I had attempted something like this and would
not have done so without a detailed magazine article with step by step
instructions.
If some expert would like to post such an article I am sure it would
save many people much anxiety.
