Hi

Yes, it boots into safe mode. I havent installed any
drivers.

I did a repair process with an old version of Windows 2000
(no service packs) and the computer rebooted normally. I
then reinstalled SP4 and the reboot problem reoccured.

Im going to see if i can find some updated drivers for the
laptop and if i cant, ill try installing SP3.

Cheers

Russ
