When I boot into safe mode, it just does not work. After I click on my account it logs on then suddenly restarts!Some times it shows a message but it restarts immediately.Please help.I have tried not to restart when system fails but it did not work.

If you can get into Safe Mode, the first thing to do is to check Device Manager (Control Panel / System / Device Manager) for any hardware devices that may be conflicting...

I got the first line of the error message.It starts with "Windows cannot create a temporary point directory..."then something. A timer was also in the error message box. It was of 30s but XP restarts before it reaches 30!

Do you have Nero installed? If yes, try uninstalling Nero. Nero "InCD4" has this tendency to override the safe mode timer and cause problems in some machines.
