It's very unlikely (though still a possibility) that WinPCap is the
problem. If your friend has any live CD's (like Knoppix [Linux]),
or if you can make him one, see if that'll boot past the point where
the XP CD fails. Other than that, he might have to reformat
(don't quote me on this, because what your friend told you, doesn't
sound all that clear [to me atleast]).<br>
<br>
This is to all the other members here...does any "Internet protection"
programs (Anti-Virus, Spywayre scanner, etc...) cause these problems
with WinPCap??<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/5/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Happy Dolphin</b> <<a href="mailto:happydolfijn@yahoo.com">happydolfijn@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<div>Hello;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have installed WinPcap and WinDump and have experienced no
problems. However, I had suggested that a friend try it, and now
he is having 'booting problems'. I did a search of mailing
lists and googled, but have seen no other posts/problems that describe
the problem that he is having.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unfortunately, I don't have from him an exact description of the problem that he is now experiencing. He only told me:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"None of the safe mode boots work. <br>The revert to last known
good also does not work but is getting furthest since it shows a bit of
windows start screen before switching to black ...<br>XP-CD also does not get the machine past the hangup "</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So it appears that his machine boots to a stage then hangs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is it at all possible that WinPcap is causing this?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What specific question should I ask him to help troubleshoot the cause?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think that he does have one of the Symantec products, but I dont
know which one, and I am not sure if he has fully uninstalled it.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for any help.</div>
<div> </div>
