When I installed the November monthly security updates on my laptop
something screwed up as I now get a BSOD every time I try to start it.
I managed to use the setup DVD to edit the registry and get a complete
memory dump. Feeding this into windbg gives me this:

Anyone know what I should now do to find what caused the “This application
has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.
Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.” exception?
I would like to get my laptop working again without reinstalling windows and
losing all of my programs and documents.
Thanks,
Leith Bade
