Wanted to go into WinXP safe mode to run anti-spyware, but when I tried I would get a BSOD with various errors. This seemed strange, so before changing anything or using FIXMBR in the recovery counsle I did a Google search for Safe Mode boot problems. After some searching I found a post saying InCd in Nero could cause this. So I uninstalled InCd and was able to get into safe mode. Going to Nero's site I found a number of large updates which were posted earlier by Tech Z.

Also at Nero's website they have utilites for the complete removal of all Nero programs.

I have to admit I neglected to update software, but still it is an interesting problem to encounter.

Hope this helps anyone having a similar problem.
