My laptop is locked and I cannot complete the boot process in Windows XP. When I try to boot the machine, the initial Windows XP screen comes up as if it will boot properly. But then the boot process stops and I get the following error message: HPWirelessMgr.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0x76b2398c" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read" Click on OK to terminate the program Click on CANCEL to debug the program Clicking on either OK or CANCEL brings up the blue window with the Windows XP logo and the machine is locked. I have tried the boot process several times and I get the same message and the locked screen each time. I have tried to boot in "Safe Mode". I have also tried to boot in "Last Good Configuration". All avenues lead to the locked blue screen with the Windows XP logo. I'm hoping not to have to do a 'System Restore" because I have files on the laptop that I don't want to lose. I'm running an HP laptop with Windows XP Home Edition and I have Service Pack 2 installed. Any suggestions out there? Thanks Willbraveheart
