Default Serious Booting Issue

Hya,

Yea it's me again (****** eh? )

So as a follow-up to all the problems I've been experiencing with this beautifully put together and well-coded Windows XP OS (note the heavy sarcasm there), I now have a booting issue (oh yay, gotta love those)

So anyways, Xp refuses to boot past the boot screen, stays there for several mins and then computer reboots, and it keeps doing that.
Only way I can boot up is to hit F8/F7 and choose "boot with last known good config"

It's frustrating

Thanks for the reply,
Yea I tried that, didn't change anything, all it did was remove some programs, but didn't fix the booting issue

So if you select "last known good.." you can boot up into windows?

Lets first try cleaning abit:
(in safemode if needed)

Please download ATF-Cleaner.
Run ATF-Cleaner:
First check "Select All" , and then remove the tick infront of "History".
Then click Empty Selected.
When you get the "Done Cleaning" message, click OK.

install and run RegSupremePro. It will want to make a backup of your registry , let it. Once it has finished, click on the Registry Cleaner tab, select Aggressive. When it has completed, click on Select, choose All. Click on Fix, and let it fix everything that it finds.

Then go to start/run and type sfc /scannow and press enter , have youre XP disc in youre drive.

If that doesn't then go to start/run/msconfig and disable everything on the startup tap and see if the problem is still there.

If that also doesn't then lets have a look for malware , please follow the instructions for that in the "Prework" link below in my sig.

Or try a repair install of windows:

Thanks for the reply,

I got all the way down to the repair, and me being me, I hate having to go through the whole update process again and what-not so I decided to just get down and dirty with it.
First I removed the sound card, fixed the problem bout not even being able to boot with last known good config anymore, then removed the drivers for it, and then seeing as that didn't work I'm going to go into the registry keys and start deleting stuff.

I think this was all caused by this durned sound card -sigh-
