RE: [Liveaboard] XP Service Pack 3 Problems And the following message too:


It appears KnowledgeBase Article 888372 is still wrong, as it still
suggests changing ControlSet001 instead of CurrentControlSet.  This was
"reviewed" 28 May 2008, and it is on Revision 6.1.
 
So these appear to be the best three solutions, if one can boot to Safe Mode:
 
     reg add HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetServicesIntelppm /v Start /d 4 /t 
REG_DWORD
 
...or...
 
     sc config intelppm start=disabled
 
...or...
 
     cd /d %systemroot%system32drivers
     ren intelppm.sys intelppm.non-sys
 
...and that last file extension I pronounce as "nonsense".
 
The
boot to Recovery Mode (from an XP startup disk) can be complicated by
having to load SATA and RAID drivers from a *^&^$& floppy disk,
particularly on systems that didn't ship with a floppy drive (or leave
room for one).  I suggest using a Vista startup disk to get to Recovery
Mode, as it allows for other locations for those drivers.
