I have a buddies XP SP2 computer that won't boot into safe mode or regular. However I can boot it fine using "Last Known Good Configuration" from the F5 startup menu.

From there I can do everything fine (windows updates, use the PC as normal), but as soon as I reboot, I get the same continuous reboot cycle. Disabling automatic restart on system failure shows me a STOP 0x0000007e message, however none of the MSKB articles about that stop message pertain to this situation.

Anyway, long story short here, I am looking to see if any of you CCers know of a registry scanning program that is actually good, not all these crappy regclean apps that come up in my searches.

Has anyone actually used any good registry scanning software? I never have had the need, as I keep my PCs in pretty good shape, and I install everything I download in virtual machines before I install them on my actual machines.
