Can anyone help? I've recently upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows XP
professional, SP2.
Apart from the usual teething problems with missing drivers etc, I have one
persistent problem that I am finding very difficult to resolve, which
involves my computer falling into a continuous re-boot loop.
I am reasonably certain that the problem is related to my external CD
writer, an HP CD Writer Plus 7500 series and associated software (Easy CD
creator v3.5, DirectCD and HP Simple Trax).
However, the problems associated with Easy CD Creator and XP are well
documented and I beleive that I have removed all traces of legacy software.
I have also downloaded and installed XP drivers from the HP support site.
Despite having done this, I find that if the CD Writer is connected to my PC
when switched on it will cause it to go into the continuous re-boot loop. On
removing the D connector from the writer to the PC, the system recovers and
boots properly.
Any ideas?
