Hi,
I have a customers PC which is an AMD 64 and is totally screwed after
SP2 was installed, she said it popped up telling her updates were
available so she installed them, I can only imagine how long it must
have taken on a modem dial-up connection..
When I first got the PC it was only able to get into safe mode but
nothing would run once you were there..
Setting..
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\intelppm]
"Start"=dword:00000004
...made it possible to do a normal boot but it took absolutely ages to
get to the login screen..
Even though I am now able to log in I am not able to uninstal SP2.. I
have even tried changing the boot.ini to /NoExecute=AlwaysOff but bootup
still takes forever and the uninstall of SP2 will not work..
System restore will also not run so I can't use that either..
Really I need help with this one in a big way so if anyone has any ideas
I am all ears..
Thanks..
