Hi,
An irritating problem holding up Boot Up.
I have just formatted the hard drive (NTFS) and re installed XP home Edition.
On boot up it gets to “Windows is starting up…” and stays on that screen for between 60 to 90 seconds then boots up normally and everything runs as it should.
I have reduced the number of programs starting to the minimum (no anti virus even)it’s not been on the internet and it was doing this BEFORE I installed Office, Nero etc and is the same now.
It has one 120Gb hard drive (master) in two partitions; 30Gb & 90 Gb on the primary IDE channel:
There is a CD rewriter on the other IDE.
It has 256 Mb RAM
The PC is running well apart from the annoyance of the “windows is starting up” screen
Any suggestions will be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Fred
