-M- Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Against better knowledge I decided to install SP2 today. So I inserted the slipstreamed WinXP-SP2 CD and did a repair install. After text-mode installation had completed without errors, the computer restarted and should load gui-mode setup. But right after the boot screen, a STOP 0x7F bluescreen appeared with param 0x0D.Microsoft KB says 0x7F-0x0D means a kind of application error. So I booted WinPE, loaded the registry and deactivated a couple of services and drivers. I also reinstalled Windows multiple times, no change. Booting in safe mode results in the same error. As I said, this happens when the gui-mode setup should be loaded. I also remember my attempt to install SP2 using the normal installation while Windows is running, a few months ago - same error.Actually I want to avoid a complete reinstall, because this will reset the registry which means 80% of my programs will need to be reinstalled, also I will have to remake my hkey_classes config and so on … it'll gonna be some hours of work and so I hope someone here knows a solutions for my problem. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWayBoy Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Bite the bullet and reinstall...even though M$ says upgrades are plausable, they very rarely are. When you add up all the downtine it's easier to do a reinstall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
