    Cannot boot XP

    I am having a problem booting up in XP. I was trying to add my laptop to my home network, and as soon as I got a connection, it restarted. Now, everytime it boots up, as soon as I get to the point where it would normally be looking for a wireless connection, a blue screen flashes quickly and my system gets stuck in a restart loop. I uninstalled my network driver in safe mode which allows me to boot up in "safe mode with network" but everything else I've done won't work when trying a regular boot up. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I tried uninstalling all of my network managers, and I uninstalled/disabled all of my network drivers. As soon as I started up I got a "found new hardware" message, and then after a little while I got the quick blue screen and restart again. I even tried starting it up with my ethernet cable connected, and the same thing happened. I have no idea what else to try.

    Seems like an issue with your network card..Try entering safe mode and disabling the auto-detect of new hardware from the control panel..

    Welcome to techhelpforum.

    Right click on My Computer. Choose Properties. Click on the Advanced tab. Under Startup and Recovery, click on Settings. Under System failure, remove the check mark from Automatically restart.

    At the next occurence of the failure, the blue screen will remain. Write down the exact error information and include it in your next post.
