XP repair not working

[SamG]

I decided to repair XP because windows explorer kept on crashing everytime I opened a folder.

So i've tried repairing but it keeps stalling at 34 minutes, when it says installing devices. It doesn't freeze because the XP description keeps changing and the green bar in the bottom right corner keeps moving.

I've tried 3 times letting each repair run for over an hour and it's still not working.

I really don't want to go through installing a fresh copy.

Any ideas of how to fix this?

No it doesn't say what device.

I tried five times at repairing and still no luck. It wouldn't alllow me to boot into safe mode either. So I did a full install.

Now after installing the GRAW demo windows says I have a win32 sasser virus.

It's not my day.

Thanks for trying to help.

I gave up and did a full reinstall.
