I've looked up this problem, but not have found anything like this one.

I have a very important xp pro machine that will not start up. The system starts then freezes once the windows xp blue screen comes up and says "oodbs program not found - skipping auto check"

I've let it sit for about 30 mins now and even restarted a few times and nothing.

XP will not allow me to go into safe mode either.

There is no sound coming from the system at all.

Any help?

I can get into VGA Mode but nothing else!

It appears that a program, 'O&O Defrag Pro,' is attempting to load at boot or perform some type of system test.

If you could get to Safe Mode without Networking, you could easily uninstall or remove it. Unfortunately, You will have to make changes at a DOS prompt.

Try renaming the following files (add OLD to the end):
c:\Windows\system32\oodagmg.dll
c:\Windows\system32\oodagrs.dll
c:\Windows\system32\oodbsrs.dll
c:\Windows\system32\ootmapi.dll
c:\Windows\system32\oodag.exe
c:\Windows\system32\oodbs.exe

Other than that, you may want to check with O&O Software Support for information on how to disable the program further.
