blue screen reboot problems

[bob]

my home prem. vista pc keeps rebooting. Blue screen message is 2 seconds
long so i can't read it and several attempts to resolve this by using system
restore etc is only making it worse. I've run virus scans in safe mode
nothing. My deskstop comes up at startup with "windows installer" 3x then a
box says that windows has to close down and then it reboots after 30 seconds
or so, no time to try and update to sp1 or find the problem list because it
dumps to fast. The blue screen does say TCPIP error or something. Do i have
to connect Mircosoft with $$ or is this not fixable. HELP thanks bob
