Hey guys and girls,
On the edge of my computer chair tearing my hair out trying to troubleshoot my girlfriend's SAFE mode problem...
On boot I am given the prompt to press F8 for safe boot, that works, I get to the screen for boot options for SAFE mode ie :
SAFE mode no network
SAFE mode with networking
SAFE mode with command prompt
etc,
however, upon selecting any of the modes that are listed windows attempts to boot into the desired SAFE mode, gets as far as the screen where the critical windows components load, (usually at the bottom says press spacebar to not continue loading SPTDs.sys) it does not show that particular prompt .. and then just restarts.
If anyone knows what may be happening would be greatly appreciated, even trying to use msconfig to auto restart in minimal safe mode doesn't work.
