Can you get far enough to choose safe mode?

If so, go into safe mode. You’ll be prompted to choose a restore point to go back to. Choose one from a month or so ago.

If you are not prompted to choose a restore point, then go into Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, and locate the software for your network card. Remove it. Reboot. Your pc will give you a message about locating new hardware, allow it to install the driver.

I used to have problems like this all the time but, everything’s been perfect since I switched to a Mac.

Go into Safe Mode or Last Known Config and boot up. Once you do so, shut it down again and boot up in normal mode. Sometimes, the problems fix themselves though you might also need to do some trouble shooting. When you go into safe mode, some of your applicaitons and drivers might not work. Don’t worry about this.

Are you sure you’re running XP? If you are running Vista, be aware that installing Microsoft’s SP1 for Vista exactly does what you have mentioned in your post (cyclical booting and rebooting).

Lau,

a couple of questions please..

Do you know what kind of security your network uses - WEP or WPA? And then do you know the passkey for the network?

Do you have the router and the PC set the to the same network type, network name and passkey?

If it still doesn’t I’d suggest plugging in wired to the router as a test. If the problems go away it really is a wireless problem.

Good luck,

Paul

BTW, Welcome. But how did you decide to join a conservative news discussion site for your question - just curious. Good luck and I jope you stick around.

Turn off Windows firewall. Install ZoneAlarm (free may be all you need)...

You joined this news/political forum today to get computer help? There aren’t any computer help forums on the ‘net? Strange.

If you have Vista and download the latest SP, computers are known to reboot. I will check for the article I saw just a day or so ago as it is a new problem.

Sorry, when I scanned your problem I saw reboot and my mind automatically went back a few days to the article I read. Now I can see you have Vista.

Disregard my resposes.
