Safe Mode lost

[Guest Mike De Petris]

XP x64, it's years that my "Safe Mode" boot does not work, it goes to

BSOD. I can't even remember how I lost it, maybe installing graphic

drivers. I didn't bother up to know, as I am not able to reinstall a

new HaupPauge HVR 4000 tv card (other thread).

 

I wanted to access devices in safe mode to remove them, any other

attempt failed, digital tuners are no more available as they was at

first installation, I tryed moving the board to different pci slot,

uninstall etc. but can't get the digital tuners back, analog tuners

work fine, with the initial problem that analog audio is very bad.

 

Which way do you suggest to attempt to "repair" the system? Backup and

reinstall from xp64 cd over actual installation?

 

I'm seriously thinking about a clean install of all the system, that

unfortunately will take a lot of time for all applications and

settings, but at that point I think I will go for 32 bit, to avoid

this pain in the future :-(
