Xp prof always goes to the safe mode. Chkdsk /r does not help. When I did a
"fixboot', it still goes to 'safe mode" and whenI hit enter, ta least it load
the drivers and I was able to see the word "dafe mode' at the 4 corners for a
split second. Then the pc reboot and into the safe mode cycle again.

So I decided to slave it in another pc and scan it with AVG, Adware SE and
Spybot, all the nasty are deleted. I put back the hard disk as its own
Primary Master, the situation remains the sam. ' the safe mode" appears for a
split sedong.
Can somone advice what is wrong with the OS. Thanks
 
Philip - your post is slightly confusing (to me anyway) - does the computer
boot "completly" in safe mode? Or is it continually rebooting?

If it does boot to XP - open msconfig (Start>Run>msconfig) select the
boot.ini tab and verify that theSafe Mode is not selected under Boot
Options.
 
How shall I put it, when I choose safe mode> start loading the drivers and
when finished you expect to go to desktop and at the same time see the 'safe
mode' wordings at the corners of the screen. This is what I can see, the see
these wording 'safe mode' for a split second and pc start to reboot. I can
even get the chance to see the desktop icons....Thanks
