Remove wrong driver



For I could not find an win xp-driver for terratec sondsystem base1, I
installed one avalable for win nt. Of course I was informed, that it would
not have passed the compatibility-test of XP-pro, but I thought, I might try
anyway. After restarting the system no more user could log in anymore. Up to
the login windows starts just as usual, but as soon as I coose my or someone
eleses user-ID, there very quickly appears a bluescreen an the system
reboots. The bluescreen is so shortly to be seen, that I can not even read
one word only.



Is there a way to start XP-pro in kind of a save mode, logon an remove this
driver again? What is likely going to happen, if I just remove the
soundsystem?

Reboot in safe mode. Open control panel choose system, go to hardware tab,
device manager and find your soundcard and you can roll back the driver to
the old one or try a different driver. After fixing the soundcard driver
close device manager and go to advanced, settings on startup and recovery,
and uncheck automatically restart. This will stop windows from automatically
rebooting whenever you get a blue screen.

How do I reboot Win XP Pro in save mode?

If you mean "Safe Mode", press F8 as early as possible in the boot
sequence, just like previous versions of Windows. It is OK to
repeatably press F8 until you see the menu.
