I´m having a big problem with a computer right now, about 10 seconds after it have loaded the agp440.dll (or was it .sys? ) driver does it reboot even if I tries to use a pci graphics gard. I´ve also tried to reinstall windows but with no succes, the it have come that long in the setup that it begins to search for previous versions of microspft windows do I get this error message (unimportant things scaled of)
Safe mode I sont suppse works either. Could try using either ERD 2003 and removing the agp driver from the registry. Or do the same thing by slaving the hd to another computer.
I think I managed to solve the problem, looks like it was a combination of an registry error and microsofts DAMN error handling . Had to reformat the harddrive by putting it in another computer bacause of that then the instalation found the corrupted registry it just hang and gave me a bluescreen. This is what i call bad error handling. I´ve not tested to reintall the drive yet this will have to wait until later today then I get time for it.
i rarely saw windows repairing itself when reinstalling it over itself.
it's not a repairs tool.
corrupted program files will be replace, but not their configs files(in most cases).
installing windows over windows is a waste of time, my 2 cents.
if you can't solve the problem by deleting, editing, replacing, the corrupted file/s, then do a fresh(format) install and save time.

Have you read the FAQ?
Or the sticky ? It might give you idea.
That was why I had to move it to another computer, the intallcd didn't get long enought in the installation to be able to format the drive. The bluescreen came before that.
