Hi,
I have a Vista machine that is unable to boot in normal mode, but can successfully load in Safe Mode with Networking.
When booting in normal mode, it will bypass the Windows loading screen and hang on the black screen before the login screen, before restarting automatically after a good few minutes.
I have noticed that there are several errors in the event logs that essentially say;
spldr wanarpv6 failed to load
These are two drivers I understand, Microsoft Windows Security Process Loader (this actually has a Yellow exclamation mark next to it within Device Manager, but is this to be expected as it does not load in Safe Mode??) and MS Remote Access and Routing ARP Driver both of which I believe do not start in Safe Mode (could this be why I am able to boot in Safe Mode with Networking without issues?
Both of these system files within C:\Windows\System32\Drivers to indeed exist, so it is not as though they are missing.
I started a Malwarebytes scan, but did not let it complete albeit - but it had already found 3 peice of PUP software which were removed. I can scan with this again if required.
I have also attached the hard drive into another machine I have, as a slave drive but I am unable to boot at all. As soon as it gets to the Windows loading page (green bar etc), it reboots. Odd. I initially thought the SATA mode was set incorrectly in the BIOS, but I have tried all those available to no avail.
Hopefully someone will have some idea of how to tackle this issue.
Regards,

- I have checked the disk for errors using ChkDsk and SeaTools both of which have come back clean.
- I have also run a sfc /scannow which also reported no issues.
- I have uninstalled AVG, as there were also several AVG system files (.sys) showing up in the same event entry as those above, but the two described above remain.
