Ok, spent the day doing a clean install of XP home and then installed XP 2. Then updated drivers to include the Via 4 in 1 (which solved another problem I was having.)
All was well and good until I started doing the windows updates (critical ones first of course) When prompted to restart I would and upon reboot I would get the screen where you could choose safemode and start windows normally. I picked the latter. A few more updates with the same results to include a boot up that repeated itself into the start up choice screen.
Upon the next update instead of restarting I shutdown the computer. When I powered back up windows booted fine. I did another update and restarted at the prompt and had the same behavior from before.
Anyone offer any insight on this? I've never had this happen before. Thanks!
