I just installed catalyst 3.1 for my Radeon 8500 and tried to flash my tape drive's firmware

Anyway I just rebooted and the pc Boots fine until just after the black Windows xp splash screen and then reboots by itself

I'm pretty sure its the video drivers that are causing

How can I get back into Windows?

thanks

Boot to safe mode and rollback the video driver.

atidvag.dll
ati2evxx.exe
ati2mdxx.exe
ati3d1ag.dll
ati3d2ag.dll
atiduag.dll
atiddc.dll
atiiecc.dll
atioglxx.dll
atipdlxx.dll
atitvo32.dll
ativcoxx.dll
ati2mtag.dll
oemdspif.dll

Is the list of drivers that appears on my ati card.

Or do an inplace install - to do that you boot from the xp cd, let setup run all the way to where you can partition the disk, then select the automatic repair.
