Event viewer had a message that the services could not run in safe mode, event though I was not in safe mode. After ascertaining that the system was virus free and attempting an assortment of fixes, I decided to do an upgrade install. The installation proceeded until the reboot where no matter what I do I get "Windows XP setup Cannot run under safe mode. Setup will restart now". </FONT></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman"> <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>I have access to the partition via Bart PE or by placing the drive in another system. </FONT></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>How can I get out of this loop? Why does my installation think it is in safe mode when I am not? Is this a registry setting? What services need to successfully load for windows to conclude that it is not in safe mode? Is there a way to back track?</FONT>Thu, 23 Mar 2006 19:15:43 GMTmstarcom
