Hi,
I bought a used laptop from the office over 2 mths ago and it’s been running fine until last weekend. It’s a IBM X20, P3 laptop (circa 2001).
Now, on bootup, when the black WinXP screen appears (with the blue automatic scroll/progress bar), after a while (90 seconds-ish), the machine freezes. Nothing happens and only a hard reboot will shut the laptop down.
On reboot, hangs again.
I went into PCWorld today in London, and they suggested I boot up in Safe Mode, choose an old System Restore Point and bootup. I was able to do this, but same problem, again, at the 1st WinXp screen
Any ideas for me to get out of this dreaded loop?
Many Thks in advance,
rgds,
chandwpl
