My PC as it boots up shows a blue screen after the Windows Xp welcome screen
(with the blue bars scrolling)...it never gets to the logon screen. If the
machine is set to restart after an error, the blue screen flashes quickly
(too fast to read) and it then restarts.

It will work fine in safe mode.

The message on the BSOD is:

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to protect
damage to your computer.

SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your
computer.
If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware manufacturer for any
windows updates you might need.

If problems contine, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or
software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caheing or shadowing.

If you need to sue safe mode to remove or diable components, restart your
computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select safe
mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP bunch of HEX code


The machine is an old PIII system that has no new hardware. I was trying to
remove the XP Antispyware 2009 malware and was in the midst of installing
Malwarebytes when the problem first appeared.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks
Barryco
