Re: Blue Screen / constant rebooting even in safe mode

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi, I'm not sure I understand. The links I read only tell me to get to the
safe mode page using f8 etc. I tried every option on that page.. Nothing on
that comand prompt page gets me to the desktop, let alone past the blue
screen before rebooting again etc.. Am I missing something?

Thx
