XPPro Setup loop

A

Al Camp

Brand new to XP Pro...
Tried to reinstall, and got blue screen "Bad_Pool_Caller" on
Setup.
I'm trying to diagnose the problem, but I'm stuck in a Setup
"loop". Tried Start mode, but it too fails saying, "won't run
while in setup."

How can I get out of this setup loop?

Thanks for any help,
Al Camp

Will,
I can't take any diagnostic action while I'm stuck in this
Setup loop. When I reboot/turnoff/on I go to back into setup,
and fail again.
Start mode won't run, with message "Can't run Start mode in
Setup".
How do I kill the Setup process. Then I can work on
diagnosing what's causing the problem
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Al Camp

Hi

What problem did you have to make you re-install XP in the first place?
Have a look at the following articles by MVP Michael Stevens:

"How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install"

"Clean Install Windows XP"

Will,
Was experiencing long "reboot" times, and sluggish
performance, and getting "out of memory" messages when starting
Access97 (I have since found the solution to the Access97
problem).
Ran Anti virus (clean) and AdAware (clean) and Spybot (clean).
If I can get out of this damned "setup" loop, I might be OK.
