Greetings,

I have a problem with a new XP Pro box.  It boots in Safe Mode but cannot start normally 
because a failed software installation keeps attempting to finish.  How do I remove 
the registry entries (or whatever is needed) to alleviate this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Best,
     Jeff

It that doesn't work when you boot into safe mode the next time use the system restore feature to a date before the trouble began.
