XP won't start in safe mode, but hangs on aswrvrt.sys
« on: February 04, 2014, 09:10:52 PM »
I booted up today to a blue screen and when I tried safe mode it hung on aswRvrt.sys.
Last known good did not load either.
FRST.txt show no Software Hive Loaded....
I attached the FRST.txt to this post. Let me know if you can help. Thanks.

Hi the first step will be to try a system restore

Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as FRST
Run FRST and press FIX
Once completed try a normal boot
