157227 2003-07-03 10:33:00 I'm running Windows XP Pro. When I restart the computer it gets to "Windows is starting" and hangs for at least 15 - 20 minutes then a message comes up "Windows cannot start. Check your password." Any idea why this happens?

157228 2003-07-03 10:47:00 Can your computer boot from a floppy disk?

Do you get more than one beep from the speaker when you start?

What motherboard, RAM, BIOS do you have?

Have you recently put new hardware in the system case?

Help us to help you. Remember that I can't see what you can from here.

In safe mode check your hardware for conflicts or problems in the Cotrol Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager or right click My Computer and select manage and look for system devices from there.

Have a look at this (support.microsoft.com) at MS, look for similarities to your situation.
