First off, I REALLY appreciate all the help you have given me over the past few days.  I have learned a lot.
Second, System Configuration Error (Code Purple) is a HP bug, whammy etc.. I found a way around it on another site. Here's the fix:
          1. When the System Configuration Error (Code Purple) pops up, hit SHIFT & F10. This pops up an administrator command prompt.
          2. Enter "chdir C:\hp\bin\CheckDMI"
          3. Then enter "rename CheckDMI.cmd CheckDMI"
          4. Enter "dir" to verify that it changed
          5. Reboot system.
I did all this and it worked.  Don't know exactly what the above actually does, but it got me around the Code Purple. As far as I know it only works for Vista.

Ok. My computer will not let me go to safe mode, any F8 functions either. Window pops up saying System Configuration Error (Code Purple) & tells me to turn off the computer.

I went ahead and ran what you sent. Computer became stuck on configuring an update 3 of 3. Wouldn't repair or just reboot. Had to restore. Now it's say there a problem with the configuration and won't load vista at all. Just tells me to turn off the computer.

None of those helped. I'm really at a loss here.

I'm running Vista. I tried running a full back up, but getting "Catastrophic Failure 0x8000FFFF, Shadow Copy couldn't be created.". Well almost all of the fixes I have found say to set Volume Shadow Copy to Automatic. Well, I can't find Volume Shadow Copy anywhere on my computer or any of the aliases I fund for it.  I tried Teaking.com's all in one and VSS repair program, but neither helped. I really need help.
