| 784664 | 2009-06-22 11:53:00 | Has MS done it again? I can't load xp via safe mode or LKGC either way it hangs. I suppose anyone else with issues hasn't got a working pc either ha ha |

| 784665 | 2009-06-22 12:04:00 | Try last known good config. I doubt IE8 would stop XP from booting | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 784666 | 2009-06-22 12:06:00 | use FF 3.5RC2, much better/faster | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 784667 | 2009-06-22 12:10:00 | Already tried last known good config Speedy, it just hangs at the splash screen. Also hangs during safe mode, it was fine 3 hours ago till it got rebooted for the IE8 "update" Ok now i've got safe mode up, black screen, no desktop, all I've got is a command prompt. |

This option is used when you cannot start Windows XP. |
