Magic Andre -- I have uploaded the boot trace and also the xbootmgr log file. I don't know if this one completed successfully. I have removed some unwanted programs related to Nikon, Skype etc.... but others I don't know if I need them, please help understand what these files do or list the ones you think are junk. http://www.mediafire.com/?wu50r7xmx01onqr One more thing, I installed wpt_x64.msi and after executing the below command, just before machine reboot I get two options: 1. Launch Windows Repair 2. Start Windows normally. Even after selecting option 2, it won't reboot and it comes back and shows the same two options. Do you think I have some missing files or is wpt is causing some corruption in my machine? xbootmgr -trace boot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath C:\TEMP thanks.
