Hello. I need some help and guidance.
my system:
AMD 2000 / 2.1 ghz
1GB DDR
OS Win XP pro updated - SP2 (oem version xp pro)
Problem noticed prior to SP2 install.
Computer will NOT start in Safe mode.
at boot pressing f8 then getting the options for safe mode.
after loads all drivers for safe mode. then screen blacks as if to start in safe, but then re-boots with message windows did not start properly what do you want to do. (start normally, safe mode options etc). If I chose to start in safe mode again, it loops around the same thing. Sometimes I get blue screen STOP error after a few tries.
XP Pro will start NORMALLY no problem.
Have ran: sfc scan now. no problems.
Have ran: chkdsk. no problems.
Have scanned for virus, trojans, adware, spyware using ALL of following: NAV 2003 Pro, Symantec.com live scan, McAffee live scan, Panda Live scan, TrendMicro PC-Cillian housecall scan, Ad-aware se pro, Spybot, PestPatrol. STATUS: CLEAN.
I have taken a NEW Maxtor 80 GB HDD, Clean install of OS, done updates, after EVERY update I have applied, restarted, restarted in SAFE MODE (with sucess), and restarted again.
CAN THIS BE A PROGRAM CONFLICT? DOES ANYONE KNOW OF THIS HAPPENING? If I list my installed software would it help?
Should I continue to install all apps one at a time, restart in safe?
this is really confusing me? becasue I cannot see why it would boot normal and not in safe mode?!?!? and do not know how an app would cause conflict with system boot files.
Any suggestions?
