Hi

I had a crashed windows. I started a Repair of the installed Windows XP SP2
from the installation media. When Windows starts for the first time after
finishing the repair everything works just perfect. After the next shutdown
and restart it tells me that it had to restore the registry (why?). From now
on Windows starts to crash and crash. I tried to repair again .. and
everything repeats itself.

How can I stop Windwos from (faulty) restoring of the Registry?
Can I delete something after the repair when it still works perfect?

Desperately need help.
Thanks
Franz

We don't have enough information to give you focused troubleshooting. Since
the Repair Install didn't work, you may need to do a Clean Install or the
problem may be failing hardware. I hate to suggest you wipe everything if
the problems are caused by hardware, so I'd want to make sure all your
hardware is healthy first. If all the hardware is good, then you have to
figure out what is different from the time everything works and the time it
starts failing. Here are some various troubleshooting links and
suggestions:

will need on-hand

"Crash and crash" is not descriptive at all and is useless for
troubleshooting. What does that mean? Do you get any error messages? Does
the machine just lock up? Reboot?

Stop the automatic restart to see if you can get a Stop Error (blue screen).
Then research the Stop Error at the link below:

System>Advanced>Startup and Recovery>Settings and under System Failure
uncheck "Automatically Restart".

http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm

Look in Event Viewer for clues:
Start>Run>eventvwr.msc [enter]

If you need more help, refer to this link to see what details to include in
your next post:

You know your computer skill level best; the optimum solution might be to
take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local
version of BigStoreUSA).

There are various symptoms:
- It stops (black screen) while starting system control or everything else
- It suddenly reboots: Windows screen changes to black .. reboot .. checking
disk ... reboot ... checking disk and it does this nearly endless.

I low-level checked the disk and it is perfect.
Stop the automatic restart to see if you can get a Stop Error (blue
screen).
Then research the Stop Error at the link below:

I did that and there where various errors like:
Bug Check 0x1E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d..._f55acfed-3296-4e84-8885-c3162fd0ddbf.xml.asp
Look in Event Viewer for clues:
Start>Run>eventvwr.msc [enter]

"Low-level checked" with what? A diagnostic utility from the hard drive
mftr.? If yes, then you know the hard drive is good. The symptoms above
I did that and there where various errors like:

I think you'll get more useful troubleshooting ideas from a Google search
rather than the MSDN link you gave me.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Bug+Check+0x1E:+KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED&btnG=Google+Search

So I'd still go through the rest of the hardware troubleshooting but also
spend some time researching the Bug Check links. Or if you don't care about
clean-installing everything, back up your data and do a clean install. Then
if you still have the problems with nothing installed except Windows,
you'll know for sure it is hardware. Make sure you install Windows with the
bare minimum of hardware attached.
