813765 2009-09-27 07:02:00 Ok, well I deleted that driver then did a reboot but the problem is still there. Same BSOD after reboot.

Edit: If I try to boot it on SAFE mode after some command lines there is an option that says: Press ESC to prevent SPTD.SYS to be loaded. If I dont press esc SAFE mode also gives me that BSOD if I press esc preventing that sys to load then it boots into safe mode.

813766 2009-09-27 07:07:00 Do you have the Windows XP CD ?

You may need to do a repair install of the OS.

Did you also manage to try the memory test as posted by blam #25

813767 2009-09-27 07:08:00 Well no I dont have that CD since I bought this laptop used and it only came with what was installed. I am going to try that memory test in a min. JOYBEBA6679 (10686)
813768 2009-09-27 07:27:00 Go to start/run type services.msc. See if there's a sptd service. If there is disable it. If daemontools was on this, did you uninstall it (not delete its folder) Speedy Gonzales (78)
813769 2009-09-27 07:43:00 Tried that services option but I dont see a service called sptd there. Also, does the bootable usb work on a sandisk cruzer micro? It has installed that U3 launcher and after I format it with the tool to make it bootable the drive is empty but the U3 drive is still there. JOYBEBA6679 (10686)

Yup it should work, I use a 1GB cruzer here. You could get one of the files off bootdisk.com. But you may need a floppy to extract the images to. Then you need to copy the files from it to the USB flash drive. Then boot from it (change the bootdisk in the BIOS to it first). Altho it may or may not boot from it. This depends on whether the BIOS supports booting from USB devices

813771 2009-09-27 08:10:00 Well I was looking at the booting options on the net since the icons dont say much, and aparently this machine does not boot from USB pen drives, but it does from SD cards since it has a slot for them. Is there tut to make the card bootable, is it the same tut for USB aplied to the SD card? JOYBEBA6679 (10686)
813772 2009-09-27 08:23:00 Might work, I could check your system out, if you get teamviewer. Install it then run it. All you have to do, is PM the ID and password to me. If normal windows doesnt work, boot into safe mode / networking Speedy Gonzales (78)
813773 2009-09-28 15:51:00 Well actually thats the problem, normal windows does not boot, and if I choose any of the safe modes I have to press esc before the sptd.sys is loaded, tho I just deleted that sptd driver and daemon from the system. But as soon as I get my hands on that laptop again ill do what you say, maybe ull find what the problem is. JOYBEBA6679 (10686)
813774 2009-10-10 04:44:00 This has now been fixed, it was infected with a worm, probably this (www.sophos.com), and it infected the USB flash drives. And it was infected with an IRC backdoor, and another trojan. And sptd.sys kept crashing (probably daemontools stuffing it up, even tho it wasnt installed). So, I deleted it. Removed Veohplayer, some knowledge thing, some other media player, Pronto something. Seems to be working now ! Malwarebytes picked up and removed 12 of the infections Speedy Gonzales (78)
