Re: can't stop xp pro reboot loop

Please post a copy of the Stop Error report.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Keep pressing the F8
key during Start-Up and select option - Disable automatic restart on
system failure.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

What is your computer make and model?

What do yiu have by way of a Windows XP CD

Have you tried Last Known Good Configuration?

Hi,
I hope there is hope for me..I was reading an article on AOL's
home page. Before I could really get into it, AOL closed, and the
computer started a reboot.
I can get as far as the desktop, then the reboot starts. I've tried
'safe mode' and still the desktop closes before I can do anything.
I saw a similar problem here, and tried the suggested fix (using
'safe mode w/networking' and still couldn't get to 'my computer'
to complete the rest of the instructions, before the reboot started.
I have 2 files I would really like to retrieve from the hard drive.
Do I have a chance of getting them? (Anyone responding, please
don't get too technical)

Thanks
