Help with XP Service Pack
HELP!
I have just downloaded and run the XP service pack 1. (I thought I had already done this once but it showed in the update list). Now after rebooting the (other) PC it won't start windows - it just keeps rebooting - even using the safe modes.... Rescue disk does the same... Any ideas for the next step? |
I heard of this problem before.
If you press F8 as the PC starts up you should get a menu appear, One of the options is 'Last Known Good'. Try that one, In the meantime I will have a dig round the MS database and other technical references..... Gary. |
Happened to me as well, started the puter in safe mode, then went to:
All Programs........Accessories.........Systems tools..........System Restore............restore my Computer to earlier time. This worked, and has been running ok for 2 days now.. |
williamsg... tried that but still crashes while loading.
touch&go ... tried that too but it does't get as far as that before rebooting itself. |
Pilotwolf,
Seems that a few people have been having this problem and the only way they have been able to fix it is by doing a 'repair install'. Details on how to do this are at: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm Hope that's of some help. Gary. |
Or you could just call MS support and see if they can resolve it. That can be quite expensive! Gary. |
unplug the PC from the wall and ground yourself to the case before you touch anything inside. FWyg |
Well thanks for the input but....
It seems to have resolved itself!!! Following a couple of days of just rebooting I sat down this morning and switched it on to alter the bios to start from the CD, the phone rang and by the time I got back Windows had booted up normally! Norton/ScanDisk/etc have found no faults... :confused: :confused: |
