I have windows xp professional and am not able to get it to work. I
have tried booting from the boot disk and the windows cd and still
have not been able to get anything to work. As soon as the system
starts up it goes to the screen where it asks you if you want to start
up in safe mode or last known configuration. Any one of those
options will freeze the system. It starts trying to load up the
different file names and always freezes up on one particular file name
called, ipvnmon.sys. The system was working fine a week ago, and now
it will just not start up. I have seen a lot of threads with this
same type of similar situation, but have not been able to find any
answers to the problem. If anyone knows anything please let me know,
because I am not sure of what I should do not. I would not mind even
reinstalling windows again, but the computer won't even let me get to
that option. Please let me know if there is anything that I can
download or do to get the system up and running.

You can't do much if you can't even boot into safe mode. You might try
booting off the XP CD and running the Recovery Console. Then change to the
\Windows\System32\drivers folder and delete or rename that file. Someone
probably has some notes on using the RC...here try this page:

Or you could just try a repair install but since that keeps your settings,
you'd probably still be stuck at the same place.
 
Thanks to all for replying. I have looked at all the other threads
with the same problem and unfortunatly no one seems to have a good
solution to this. I tried booting of the cd but I still always get to
the screen that asks if I want to start up in safe mode. I think some
kind of virus might have corrupted the hard drive but I am not sure.
I guess what I will do is take out the hard drive and plug it in as a
second hard drive into another computer. Then maybe from that
computer I can run a virus scan and see if there is anything wrong
with that hard drive.
 
I had similar, although mine froze at Agp440.sys. I don't think the
driver/service the PC freezes at is the issue, it's just the last one it
gets to.

In my case the culprit was a BIOS update supplied by HP which was the wrong
one for my PC.

Did you change anything prior to the problem, especially BIOS ?, have you
reset BIOS to defaults ?. I recall reading lots of sites talking about
turning off plug n' play in BIOS.

You did press a key at the prompt when booting from the CD, right? If you
don't it will go on to boot from the harddrive. You wouldn't get a safe
mode prompt if you booted off the CD.
 
Im having a similar problem. Also freezes at Agp440.sys. Tony, did you get your computer to work? I have tried reseting BIOS to defaults but no luck.
 
Thanks to all for your suggestions. Unfortunately there was not much
I could do. Once I got into my BIOS I reset everything back to the
default settings. Once I did that I was finally able to boot of my
boot disk. I got into the recovery console but there was not much
that I could do from there. I tried to delete the file that I thought
was causing the problem but this did not do anything because the
computer ended up stalling at a different file name after that. The
computer I was fixing was not mine so it was hard to say what had
happened to it before I got it. I am thinking that it may have been a
virus that infected the computer. The computer was an old 1ghz
celeron which had windows xp loaded on top of it a week before the
problem occured. I was looking through its BIOS and it only had
support for windows 98 and windows 2000 and an option for 'other' for
its operating system settings. So I am thinking that this could have
been the problem also. Also one other thing that had happened to it
was that sbc yahoo dsl was loaded on top of it as well. So maybe any
one of those three events was the cause of it. But basically the only
thing that I was able to do to get it to work again was what many of
you suggested, reformat my drive and start all over. This time I am
going to put the operating system that originally came with the system
on top of it.

Hope someone else can get some help from this. Thanks to all for your
help and replies.

Alex
