I couldn't enter Safe mode either, cause after the list of drivers finished loading, it seemed to run a little bit more before the BSOD appeared.
Is there anyway for me to solve this problem? Or i will have to re-install my windows?
I'm currently running XP on a different partition of the hard-disk.
Thanks and looking forward to your reply.

I too had the same problem yesterday. But my Windows Vista does not have an Restore points to go back to, ie alcohol, unlike some other applications, does not create a restore point for you.
I have noticed that the BSOD only occurs when Windows tries to complete the driver installation after restart. Surely it is possible to disable the startup sequence to allow user intervention before the BSOD kicks in? Please help.......

Boot in safe mode and you'll have the option of canceling the loading of sptd.sys( at least you have it in Windows XP, probably you'll have it in Windows Vista also).

I had the same problem, but I managed to boot again by unplugging my DVD-R drive. If i plug it back in it will bluescreen again while booting.

Select the option that is somewhat like: Last Known Good Boot
Worked for me.

I don't see where you get that option. When are you pressing F8? in the menu I thought you were talking about, all that was there was
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Start Windows Normally
But no option for last known good configuration. Also, I cannot use the Vista CD because I dont have any restore points! This is very frustrating!

1. I started the pc with the dvd and selected the repair mode
2. I selected the prompt option
3. I deleted the map Alcohol .. in Program files
4. Reboot the system after disconnecting my dvd drive
5. installed Alcohol again, this will give an error.
6. I clicked "ok" and alcohol was removed from everywere on my system.
7. shut down, reconnect the dvd and reboot.

Hit F8 while booting up and then select the last good known setup option. This worked for me.

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Start Windows Normally.
If u want to boot using last known good config and u only see this list, just start pressing F8 repeatedly as soon as u press power on.

I have tried this method several times and still only get the same list of options for safe mode. Is there any other way to get to the option for "last know good configuration" restore points without using the disc? as i dont have a disc.

Follow these steps:
1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer.
Click the Start button , click the arrow next to the Lock button , and then click Restart.
2. Do one of the following:
• If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you will need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
• If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to start, and then press F8.
3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER.
4. If your computer has more than one operating system installed, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system that you want to start by using Last Known Good Configuration, and then press ENTER. Windows will then resume starting normally.

Boot up XP, navigate to your Vista partition > Windows > System32 > Drivers, change your view to 'detail', Order by created date, the last two files should be something like 'SCSIVAXa.dll' 'SCSIVAXb.dll' (or something like that). Delete these two files. Boot back into Vista then uninstall Alcohol. Get the latest version and try again. - WARNING - deleting things from this folder at random will definately break your system. If in doubt - persist with the F8 solution.

These files don't exist anymore in the newer versions. Instead of them one can uninstall SPTD with the standalone installer from www.duplexsecure.com.
