Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

We need to move the hard disk to another computer and use "Load Hive"
function to change the problematic system's registry.

The [HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl] hive is saved in the
%SystemRoot%\system32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file (no file extension).

I hope this helps. Thanks!

| But how do you edit the registry if the computer keeps rebooting??
|
| You can't look at the stop error.
| You can't boot in safe mode.
|
| What else is there to do expect re-install the OS?
