Exact same thing happened on my computer except it won't even boot up in safe mode. Hope you both have some success. I'll lurk and look for your answers. Thanks.

This has happened to me to. With great relief i manged to get into windows in safe mode and restore to a point in time before installing SP2. Im not sure how to proceed and be able to install SP2 safely. There are a number of reports of this problem. What is best to do next?

It does sound to me as though you may have a hardware issue. You can't get access to your keyboard... try another keyboard? It could be a motherboard or CPU issue or even bad memory causing a constant rebooting. If it was me, I would start replacing all the easy/cheap items first and see if that stops the rebooting or at least gives you the option to jump into BIOS via the DEL or whatever key (F2, F11, F12) that your BIOS requires.
Like I said below it does sound like a big coincidence that it happened when you were windows updating, but many BSODs are from hardware issues as well as software and it may just have happened after your windows updating session.
Cheers, Trevor.

Do you have a USB keyboard? If so, I would try a keyboard with PS2 or AT-XT type connectors, whichever your computer has.
I believe you might be having the same problem I was having, See 5/21/05 thread: "4 security updates repeatedly cause "black screen" - requiring "Repair install"
there were a few of the updates that caused my computer to be out of control. Sometimes it would just keep rebooting, then, if I tried limited installs of other patches, it would simply go to a black screen after briefly flashing a blue screen.
Well, the only solution was to put in the WinXP CD, setup, and go through the "Repair Install" option. (tried the "kernal32.dll" replacement approach first, but to no avail) Basically you go down the path of installing (not the "Recovery Console") but you get an option to detect current Windows version and "Press 'R' to Repair" (can't recall which came first), and then it goes through aboutg 1/2 hr process of loading some of the OS files from the CD and basically taking a good part of your OS back to whatever SP your CD was. It does not mess with your currently loaded programs (thankfully) and even leaves some patches in place, but you will DEFINITELY want to make a bee-line for Windows Update once your system is back up. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FIREWALL IN PLACE FIRST - your system will be naked and with little (patch) protection, so you need time to be able to load the updates before Spyware/etc can get you. Having helped friends with their systems (before convincing them to load firewalls such as Zone Alarm or BlackIce), I am aware of how quickly one can get hit by these things - in minutes!
This worked for me, anyway. Oh, and I have tried and tried to figure out which of the 4 remaining patches cause problems (and load the others), and thus have had to go through this "Repair Install" process a LOT lately. My system was most impacted by the 4/2005 patches.
Good luck and hope this helps! KWW
