DISABLE
disable servicename
Use this command to disable a Windows system service or a driver. In the
command syntax, servicename specifies the name of the service or driver that
you want to disable.

Use the listsvc command to display all services or drivers that are eligible
to be disabled. The disable command prints the old start type of the service
before resetting the start type to SERVICE_DISABLED. Record the old start
type if you must enable the service again.

The disable command displays the following start_type values:
SERVICE_DISABLED
SERVICE_BOOT_START
SERVICE_SYSTEM_START
SERVICE_AUTO_START
SERVICE_DEMAND_START

Too bad I didn't see this earlier.

Earlier I started the repair install. It told me it needed to reboot to
complete installation. When it rebooted I got the STOP x50. So I tried to
boot into safe mode, but got a message saying setup cannot boot into safe
mode or something to that effect.

It seems there's a catch 22 -- I need to boot into safe mode to fix the
problem, but because I've started the repair install it won't let me boot
into safe mode.

I received a BSOD 0x00000050 [no indication what was causing the
problem. Even diagnostic mode gave me the BSOD. I could only boot to
safe mode. It happened immediately after I rebooted while installed
the calendar printing assistant for Outlook 2007. The motherboard had
been replaced about a week earlier.] There was no indication of a
driver problem and I ran extensive diagnostics and everything was
clean.

I then ran repair reinstall. During the installation it told me it
needed to reboot--and it rebooted into the BSOD (x050 again). I tried
to reboot in safe mode but received a message that setup can't boot
into safe mode. So how do I get the repair install to finish if the
machine won't boot at all? I'd prefer not to reinstall Windows
because it takes far too long to reinstall all my programs--and if
repair reinstall gives BSOD a full install might also, who knows?

Bottom line -- if repair install boots to BSOD and won't let me boot
to safe mode, how do I get out of this loop?


A STOP x50 error indicates an incompatible video driver. Safe mode should
get you far enough to install the correct driver. See here:
