and it is:
To work around this problem, uninstall the service pack that you installed. Then, reinstall the service pack.

i assume in safe mode.
or:
To work around this problem, replace the Dpcdll.dll file by using a clean Dpcdll.dll file that has the correct version.

Note To obtain the clean Dpcdll.dll file, copy the Dpcdll.dll file from a new installed computer.

Okay... a little confusing but, but by service pack isn't that the cd you use to install windows? If it is it already came with xp installed on it.

i think then, you need to:
To work around this problem, replace the Dpcdll.dll file by using a clean Dpcdll.dll file that has the correct version.

Note To obtain the clean Dpcdll.dll file, copy the Dpcdll.dll file from a new installed computer.

now, all you need is another computer...

no idea, the article was not very explanatory, other than it had to be the SAME EDITION OF WINDOWS (XP- home, XP-media Center 2004,....)
