How to Disable a Service or Device that Prevents Windows from Booting

FIX: 1.Start your computer with the Windows boot disks, or with the Windows CD-ROM if your computer supports booting from the CD-ROM drive.
2.When the Welcome to Setup dialog box is displayed, press R to repair, and then press C to start Recovery Console.
2.Choose to install Windows and log on to your computer with the Administrator account.
3.From the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder at the command prompt, type listsvc, and then press ENTER.
4.Locate the service or driver that is causing the problem in the list that is provided.

NOTE: Selecting the wrong service or device could cause further problems.
5.Type disable servicename (where servicename is the name of the service), and then press ENTER.

NOTE: The disable command prints the old start_type of the service before resetting it to SERVICE_DISABLED. You should record the old start_type, in case you need to re-enable the service.
6.Type exit, and the computer restarts automatically. Allow the computer to boot normally.
