Stuck in Safe Mode
The first question has to be what changes were made to the system
immediately prior to this problem starting? Has your friend tried booting to Safe Mode and then running system restore to roll their system back to a date before this problem started? Alternatively try booting to Safe Mode (keep tapping F8 as the system starts) and select "4. Step-by-step confirmation" and see if you can determine the step that is causing the problem. -- Mike Maltby MedRxMan wrote: Friend has PC that on boot gets the folowing error: "Windows Protection Error While Initializing Device CONFIGMG" "You Need to restart your computer" "System Halted" |

It would still be good for you to determine what changes were made just
prior to the problem arising, as Mike said. It might save you some headache in the future. Heirloom, old and got to be a reason "MedRxMan" wrote in message ...

My friend said the issue arise when she had to do a forced shutdown due to
pc lockup. "Heirloom" wrote in message ... It would still be good for you to determine what changes were made just prior to the problem arising, as Mike said.
