With all the modern conveniences of personal computers it has now become very easy to earn your living online at home. Nonetheless, there are some recent problems that make this much more dependent on good backup and restore procedures than ever before. A common and very dangerous anomaly is called the OS Lockup Loop. This is caused by an application that terminates but causes permanent faults in the running version of the OS before it crashes.
When this happens, multiple windows registry entries associated with application are trashed and permanent errors occur in the running version of the operating system. Since the source of the problem cannot be isolated and corrected the problem is unrecoverable. Therefore, when you attempt to power down and reboot you get a blue screen and it attempts to auto-restart. This produces another lockup and subsequent shut down/restart. This loop is one that cannot be corrected.
In prior versions of the Operating System your only resolution to this kind of problem was to simply reload the OS. While it was a solution, it wiped out the hard drive and therefore everything - including all installed applications and data files were lost. Even with daily backups it was still a disaster to recover from, requiring the reinstallation of all the applications and reloading of data files from backup. Therefore, it was a bad situation overall.
Because of the recent fixes in both Vista and W7 there is now a better solution that a complete reload of the OS. Knowing that an application has caused this problem is of no value, since it takes a running OS with which to execute an uninstall. Therefore you need a running PC to uninstall applications to remove the errant code.
Here is the procedure for correcting this problem. First you need to power up in Safe Mode. After you are up in Safe Mode, go into your Control Panel and run a system restore with a select date that is prior to the install date of the application. Remember to run your Windows System Registry update after this procedure. You can purchase and download a top registry software package that does this. They also perform the other registry fix functions that accomplish any needed Registry Repair.
After the restore you can uninstall the application and then shut down your system normally. You should be able to execute a normal reboot of the system.
