I installed a fresh copy of Win XP Pro for a friend of mine and all
was working well. I set it home with her and she attempted to install
her HP scanner. The computer is now constantly rebooting and I can't
even get into the safe mode.
I need help to stop the rebooting so I can at least get into the safe
mode and make an attempt to remove the software she loaded.
I have a CD copy of XP and get into that, but if I try for any type of
"safe mode" or the last best boot etc.. it just does a constant
reboot.
Any help would be appreciated.

Use the "last known good configuration" option, then disable automatic
restart on system control panel applet->advanced->start up and
recovery[settings].

Walt,
Thank you for getting back to me.
The problem is that I get rebooted no matter what I select. I wish I
could get a good boot, just one then I could do as you say but I have
no luck.
I am going to try and do a repair on the system and hope that fixes
it, other wise I have no option but to wipe out the drive and start
all over again. for the third time
