Running WinXP Pro SP2 on Pent4 1.7GHz 512 MB RAM.

System keeps on an un-ending re-boot loop. LBC does not work, however
SafeBoot w/Network goes well. In that mode it allows me to activate all
s'wares even burn CD's... Amazing !

I ran the Repair Console, changing both Make Boot adn MakeMBR, same
problem
remains.

Would anyone have had similar experience and wld like to share how to
overcome this annoying situation.

Thanks a lot.

This may seem amazing until you consider the difference between
Safe Mode and Normal Mode. In Safe Mode, only the basic stuff
gets loaded. In Normal Mode you get the lot. Your challenge is to
identify the culprit. Here is how you can do it:

1. Physically disconnect your machine from the Internet.
2. Boot into Safe Mode.
3. Run msconfig.exe.
4. Disable each and every task under the Startup tab.
5. Click Services and tick the box that will hide Microsoft services.
6. Disable each and every remaining service.

You should now be able to boot into Normal Mode. Run
msconfig.exe again and enable first services, then tasks
selectively until your problem reappears.

Do not restore your Internet connection until your firewall/
virus scanner is reactivated.
