Problem installing XP Service Pack 3 message - restart the computer after the logon screen

When restarting after the installation the system restarts before the login screen. Need safemode to restore the system to Service Pack 2.

My previous answer despite...

You wouldn't be wearing used underwear without washing (and money laundering it) first. It goes the same for used computers.

You can trust in the security of ANY computer used until you have formatted the hard drive & then did a clean install of Windows.

Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order! ) to return the computer to a State safe & functional: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

Note: The computer must not be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

  • Problem installing Vista Service Pack 1

    Hello

    I searched the internet for hours now and have found many people with the same problem but I couldn't find a solution.

    I just bought software that requires Vista service pack 1 which I thought that I had already but I didn't so I installed it.
    It goes through the whole process of installation and the last section after restarting, it goes to a black screen where it moves well as files or something but locks files 37898/94821 with the message:! 0xc01a001d! (\Registry\Machine\COMPONENETS\winners\x86...).

    If anyone has had this problem and know what to do.

    Hello

    To be honest, I never had any problem with my Vista updates
    The Vista updates automatically every time when I m online and when new updates are available

    How have you tried to update the Vista operating system?
    Have you downloaded the SP1 version first on the HARD drive or do you run an automatic update?

    If the automatic update does not work, try to download the SP1 version first, and then start the update procedure:

    SP1 can be downloaded here:

    I just noticed the above your first post. You had AVG and installed NAV and loading at startup? What were you doing thought? Not surprising that SP2 or Win7 upgrade would not install!

    You must have an installed AV 1 and loading at startup. Chances are that AVG or Norton worked properly.

    You have 2 choices:

    1. back up your personal data (of which none should be considered reliable) and then format the HARD drive and do a clean install of Vista. or...

    2. make a "custom (Advanced) installation" of Win7 and then delete %system%\Windows.old <=this> . Do not even think to transfer the data from Vista to Win7. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft
