Safe Mode Problem

Ran22 · 10-04-2009, 10:49 AM

hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with XP, it boots normally and without problem under a normal boot. But under safemode it boots to the logon screen where just when it loads up the icons for me to login, it reboots. It happens with all three safemode options. Also before I get to this screen, during the black screen where it shows all the drivers being loaded I get an SPTD.sys load error. Please help!

I believe the problem can be caused by daemon tools. Uninstall and see if you can boot into safe mode ok

Thanks for the advice but I tried that and no change. It still reboots.

So you can get into Windows, but not Safe Mode?

Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120% and any other software you have installed that creates a Virtual CD drive (Power ISO?) need to be uninstalled.

Thanks guys but I tried that and it's still rebooting. the last time I tried to boot into XP the SPTD.sys still appears after every virtual drive was removed.

Hi, I found that by uninstalling SPTD using the the SPTD Layer installer/Uninstaller, no crash. Hope this helps anyone else. Mods please mark as closed/resolved.
