Disable Automatic Restart

Using Registry Editor:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl

DWORD = AutoReboot

0 = Auto Restart Disabled

1 = Auto Restart Enabled

 

Not using Registry Editor:

System Properties - Advanced - [Startup and Recovery]Settings

Remove the checkmark from "Automatically Restart" in the System Failure section.

    Worked like a charm! Of couse you have to edit the registry with another program like ERD Commander Pro 2003 my personal favorite. Can see my bug code now. Good find. It does take effect as soon as you exit out of your editor and reboot. Thanks Super Admin. Just gotta know what you are doing.

    What poster #1 said. Perhaps there's an undocumented flag that goes into boot.ini ?

    Was excactly what was missing ! I used 'Ultimate BootCD for Windows' kit to access the drive. At the menu : Start > Programs > Registry Tools > Regedit (Remote) -> choose user profile name , and continue with the above ! ( To make your own kit goto http://www.ubcd4win.com/ Free &/GPL !!) Good luck. Mondie .
