windows XP repair loop

When I do a repair using the WinXP cd, all goes well until the restart.
Windows starts in Safe Mode (even if I tell it to start in Normal mode) and
Win XP Setup cannot run in Safe Mode. So then the whole process begins again
with the same result. How can I do a repair in this situation?

Andrew, it's time to give it a rest. This latest post of yours sounds
like you've been having too many adult beverages - or something.

John B - Why did you feel you needed to do a Repair Install in the first
place? What problems were you having? A Repair Install will not cure
serious operating system ills and apparently it didn't cure the ones
you had. However, without knowing more details you can't get focused
troubleshooting.

Here's a link that will help you with what information to include in
your next post:

Then come back with all pertinent details so we can get started helping
you.

What was the reason for doing a repair install?

Be aware that a repair install will not remove or fix problems due to
installed software and malware.
