Re: [MCE] XP SP3 Issues
Doug45,
That is actually good news, as we are getting closer to having lift off.
First, check your work in Safe Mode.
Click Start, click Run, and enter: regedit
Navigate to the "Start" value of the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
\Services
\Intelppm
In the right panel, examine the value "Start"
Change the 'Start' value to 4 instead of its setting of 1. To do this, right click on the value "Start" in the right panel and choose Modify.
If it does not read: 00000004 then edit it so that it does.
Now a question for you: what graphics adapter do you have, and if you remember, what is the name of the driver set you last installed for this adapter? You can check in Safe Mode with Device Manager to be certain.

| OMG bcastner, the registry change did it! I am so glad I came back to this forum. Microsoft support had me going down a different (probably wrong) and time consuming track.
Your help got me over the problem while keeping frustration to a minimum.
By the way, the graphics adapter is integrated on the motherboard. It is ATI Radeon xpress 200, driver version 8.17.0.0, 8/13/2005. Although it probably doesn't matter anymore.
Thanks again. |
