I thought that this topic needed it's own thread, if you moderators think it needs to go into another forum thread then please do it, many thanks.
I wil explain my whole situation so you know just what is making my PC respond in a strange manner then you could see from my situation on how to help.
I had trial version of alcohol 120% installed on my PC, and daemon tools 3.47, i also have starforce nightmare, sfcure, sfasb gui, (secure rom 7) sr7 stop, i have installed splinter cell chaos theory snake version, all runs fine. every one of those applications is off, then yesterday i unistalled daemon tools 3.47, and trial version of alcohol 120%. between each uninstalls i rebooted the system all fine till then. Then i installed daemon tools 4 and it asked to reboot and so i did and upon system boot it continued the installation. Then i rebooted the system again. But unfortunately as the system booted back into windows it starts to load daemon tools because it's on automount at start up, now as it's mounting the drives it quicly crashes and reboots and upon when the boot gets back to windows i have tried quickly disabling daemon tools but you only have a few seconds till it crashes again. So it's impossible.
Is there a way i can login into windows without it loading anything? like a windows safe mode. Either that or can something else be done?
Does this mean i have broken my PC, i hope not
Please help me fix this,
any help much appreciated
many many thanks

Press f8 when booting, this will give you a menu, choose start windowsXP in safemode. Then you can remove dt4 or solve the problem.
You can also try this command when you boot normally,
shutdown -a (this should stop winXP from restarting).
Start - Run - "shutdown -a" (without the quotes)
Second solution might be easier cause safemode takes a while boot up.

thanks for the fast reply,
I don't understand the second method, but it does'nt matter. I managed to get into safe mode very quickly. btw i am using windows xp home edition + service pack 2. I got into safe mode and went to start - programs - daemon tools and then clicked on the exe and i get this message:
DAEMON TOOLS
initlization error.
This program requires at least windows 2000 with SPTD 1.21 or higher. Kernel debugger must be deactivated.
Then i try uninstalling daemon tools and get this message:
DAEMON TOOLS Uninstall
Setup is unable to validate installation
What should i do,
any help much appreciated, many thanks

ah thank you so much, i did all that you said and i am back in windows now. thanks again.
Just one thing, what happened to me is it a flaw in dt4? Should i wait till they fix the problem or should i try installing it again?
I read how a lot of people are using it on here and didn't experience the problems that i had, could it be that this current version has problems with my system specs. I thought if i reinstalled it i could disable auto mount before i reboot my system after installation that way it shouldn't constantly do a crash reboot.
What are your thoughts
many thanks
