Does not get to log on screen

[Andrew Stapleton]

XP SP2 will not progress to Log on Screen
Will boot in Safe Mode
All appears normal up to where the Log on Screen should appear
I have done a re install Repair and it ends up the same.
Have run Chkdsk
Any help greatly appreciated - hope i dont have to re install all those
programs and settings.

Nope, if a Repair fails, rebuild is next.

I'm running into this same problem...the only hardware change I have made to
my system was the video card. So I switched it out with the OEM's and I'm
still getting the same problem when i try to install SP2.

Note: SP2 was on my system before I willing re-installed to partition my
hard drive to make it duel bootable with server 2003, which has not happened
yet do to this issue...

Any Suggestions?

Thanks Richard
This computer has been running SP2 ever since it was released so the
reference in your second message does not apply - right now i am hoping
someone hops in with another suggestion - but like Mark says - it is
starting to look like a new install. Thanks for your reply.
