subject: Installed XP SP2, now PC won`t boot

From: Mike '/m' 

I'm building a PC for my nephew.  Yesterday I did a clean install of XP,
followed by an install of SP2 via Windows Update.  After the SP2 install
completed, the system will not finish the boot process.

When I boot into safe mode, the last driver to appear on the screen before
everyting locks up is agp440.sys (or something very close to that name, I
am going from last night's memory here).

The last time I went through this install (a week or two ago) Windows
Update wouldn't give me SP2 because I had a newer P4 (or so I read here). 
This time it decided to give it to me, so to speak.

Am I looking at yet another Windows re-install weekend due to my attempts
to use Windows Update?  Or is there a another way out of this fiasco?
