RE: XP SP3 machine not getting logon window

2010-07-24 Thread Ben Schorr 
I'd try the suggestion of putting it in another machine, I suppose.  If that 
doesn't work then I'd just flatten it and start over.  Anything critical on 
that drive that isn't backed up?

Subject: XP SP3 machine not getting logon window

Dear all,

 I'm running out of ideas. I have a Windows XP SP3 machine that boots up but 
you reach the point just before you get the explorer.exe logon welcome window 
so I get the mouse pointer a complete blue screen but it goes no further.

 If I try safe mode, it doesn't go further either (but you get a beautiful 
black screen with the Safe mode text all around).

 Since i could access offline the event log files with a Windows live CD, I saw 
an ID=20 error related to google update, I disabled that service but no love. 

 I have disabled some other services like SQL Server express, remove last 
security updates and still nothing.

 Any ideas I can try?

 Miguel

Sorry, it's a laptop, not a desktop. And yes, I have been able to boot with a 
Windows live CD and worked fine (that's how I managed to remove services, check 
event logs, etc).

I have given up, we are going to reinstall it

Have you removed or disconnected all hardware that's not required to boot?  The 
hard drive, monitor, keyboard and mouse is all that's required, no add-in cards 
unless there's a video card needed.

And/Or

Try booting with a UBCD4WIN CD (or any other bootable Windows build).  If that 
works, at least you'll know the problem is software related.

RE: XP SP3 machine not getting logon window

2010-07-23 Thread Jeff Cain 
I ran into something similar recently when working on an XP sp3 machine. I 
tried everything I could think of including going to google about it, the most 
I could gather was that there was a crash happening during (WGA) activation 
which prevented the finalization of the boot up sequence. Other people had run 
into it, but had no working suggestions.

I ended up having to remove the hard drive and back up the data to another 
machine, then reinstalling Windows XP sp3.

Thanks,

Dear all,

 I'm running out of ideas. I have a Windows XP SP3 machine that boots up but 
you reach the point just before you get the explorer.exe logon welcome window 
so I get the mouse pointer a complete blue screen but it goes no further.

 If I try safe mode, it doesn't go further either (but you get a beautiful 
black screen with the Safe mode text all around).

 Since i could access offline the event log files with a Windows live CD, I saw 
an ID=20 error related to google update, I disabled that service but no love. 

 I have disabled some other services like SQL Server express, remove last 
security updates and still nothing.

 Any ideas I can try?

Then, maybe it’s time to wipe and reinstall. If there’s vital information
you need to get off that machine, you can take the hard drive out and hook
it up as a slave in another PC and get the data off that way, of course, but
it’s looking more and more like you need to wipe and reinstall. L

probably worth waiting until North America comes into work, as the guys over
there may have some more angles you can try.

Can you connect to the machine remotely when it is in this "hung" state? If
so, could you try doing something like using pslist to see if explorer.exe
is running - and if not, could you maybe use psexec to launch explorer.exe?

Have you tried LastKnownGood?

If that fails, can you actually press Ctrl-Alt-Del and get any response when
it hangs?

Dear all,

I'm running out of ideas. I have a Windows XP SP3 machine that boots up but
you reach the point just before you get the explorer.exe logon welcome
window so I get the mouse pointer a complete blue screen but it goes no
further.

If I try safe mode, it doesn't go further either (but you get a beautiful
black screen with the Safe mode text all around).

Since i could access offline the event log files with a Windows live CD, I
saw an ID=20 error related to google update, I disabled that service but no
love.

I have disabled some other services like SQL Server express, remove last
security updates and still nothing.

Any ideas I can try?

Have you tried swapping the drive into another PC and see if it does the 
same?
Could be a hardware issue.

Might be time to start thinking about a repair install of XPalthough 
probably worth waiting until North America comes into work, as the guys 
over there may have some more angles you can try.

Can you connect to the machine remotely when it is in this "hung" state? 
If so, could you try doing something like using pslist to see if 
explorer.exe is running - and if not, could you maybe use psexec to launch 
explorer.exe?

Re: XP SP3 machine not getting logon window

2010-07-23 Thread Miguel Gonzalez 
I have tried all possibilities that i get in the menu after pressing F8 (last 
known good - although there isn't such entry in the registry of the machine ).

Ctrl+Alt+Del and Ctrl+Shift+Esc didn't work

Have you tried LastKnownGood?

If that fails, can you actually press Ctrl-Alt-Del and get any response when it 
hangs?

Dear all,



 I'm running out of ideas. I have a Windows XP SP3 machine that boots up but 
you reach the point just before you get the explorer.exe logon welcome window 
so I get the mouse pointer a complete blue screen but it goes no further.




 If I try safe mode, it doesn't go further either (but you get a beautiful 
black screen with the Safe mode text all around).



 Since i could access offline the event log files with a Windows live CD, I saw 
an ID=20 error related to google update, I disabled that service but no love.



 I have disabled some other services like SQL Server express, remove last 
security updates and still nothing.



 Any ideas I can try?



 Miguel
