Hi all,
I have a new client with an XP box stuck in an eternal reboot cycle, as it appears that the machine was set up with the default “Automatically Restart” when it encounters an error. It is now encountering an error on an on-going basis.
I would love to find out what the error is, but I am unable to get into the system to stop it automatically restarting.
We are unable to get it to boot in to safe mode, so my question is whether there is a way to turn off the automatic restart from the recovery console, or from a floppy based utility, or some other way that we can edit this setting.
I know the registry key that I need to change to make it happen – I just don’t know of a way to get to it without booting the system, and this system isn’t going to successfully boot any time in the near future.
Anyone got some clues on this?
Cheers,
Alan
