King_Cold Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 I have a big problem with my windows XP. Each time it gets between the loading screen of windows and the welcome screen, it restarts. So when I start my computer it just keeps restarting and restarting and restarting. Luckily I have on a different partition WinMe installed and this one still works. My problem happened just after I had instaled AviSynth and I was trying to install swiftAVS but the setup.exe didn't load and slowed down my computer. Even after I ended it's process using ctrl+alt+del. So I restarted my comp and then became the "circle of death". Gimme ideas here, what can I do to fix this?Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Can you try starting in safe mode, tapping F8 on boot up then try system restore to before you had this problem.Or F8 and start 'last known good configuration'BTW welcome to the forum ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LB Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 totally agree with mark2, hold F8 while booting and select SAFE MODE. if system restore doesn't work, try uninstalling the program you installed prior to your problem starting.Welcome to the forum, may your stay be a long and happy one!!

mark2 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Have you tried restart in 'last known good configuration' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Cold Posted June 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Yep. I've tried that to. It restarts anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 OK go to control panel >system>advanced>startup and recovery>click on settings>system failure > remove the tick from automatically restart.You should then be able to view the error messages along with the BSOD, then we can work from thereooops error can't get that far :blink: :blink: dumb!!

mark2 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Do you have a full XP disc ? to access the recovery console ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Cold Posted June 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Yes, I have the WinXP cd and I can start the revovery console from it.What must I do next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LB Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 is there not an option in the startup menu whereby you csn elect what to run program by program, i know there was in 98SE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Never having used it myself this is where I stumble.Some how I think we need to run SFC not sure if it is available here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Lived backwards is there not an option in the startup menu whereby you csn elect what to run program by programI think there is, 'command prompt' will check on my other system now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 'safe mode with command prompt' is an option after but it has to load the initial safe mode screen 1st. if you can get that far we may be able to run sfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Cold Posted June 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 No, I can't get past the loading. I can access WinMe on my second partition, could I run it from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Unfortunately you won't be able to do it from ME.The simplest option now would be to do a repair of the XP installation from the CD and then to remove the problem programs..If you can explore the XP partition from ME you may be able to delete the folders of the offending programs before the repair ?

monkeyhanger Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 SFC is available on windows xp. You type sfc /scannow with the xp disk in the drive. Note there is a space between the sfc and /scannow ;) All this is not much good for King_Cold, Hi and welcome :D , if the loading of xp is going in a loop. :( the repair option looks the best one. Set the bios to boot from cdrom, first option. Load the xp disk in and startup. Let it run as a normal installation, read all the prompts, you will come to one that gives you the repair option "R". Pick this and see if it will help. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
