NT4 Windows Setup lockup

karondm · 12-19-2007, 03:05 PM

I've got a PC which used to be running NT4 until someone apparently had the bright idea to upgrade it or add network drivers or printers or something.
Now, when I power it up, NT Setup launches and I cannot seem to get it to break. The setup routine locks up while trying to add or search printer drivers.
I've tried starting it in safe mode, but it still launches NT Setup.

Does anyone have an idea what makes Setup launch on Windows startup?
I've tried deleting the registry key values under the RunOnce key, but that made no difference. I may have missed something there.

Anyway, any ideas??

thanks in advance.

I guess I forgot to add that the setup locks up while trying to add or search printer drivers.
