System won't start up!
Posted by Caterina on December 1st, 2003


After I installed the updates, shut down and restarted
system. System is in start up loop but fails to
initialize. Safe mode did not work. Help!

Caterina;
Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Choose "Last known good configuration" at the menu.
If that fails, try a Repair Installation:
Repair Installation:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm
Windows Updates will need to be reinstalled.
Data should be safe, back-up important data just in case.
Install Service Pack first and by itself.
Then install ALL Critical Updates no more than 4 at a time,

Disconnect the network/modem cable before starting repair and do NOT
reconnect the cable until repair is completed and firewall is
installed/enabled.
