73918 2002-08-26 02:08:00 Hi,

After rebuilding an old networked computer, for home use, the operating system hangs on startup. I have to reboot in safe mode, wait for the safe start to complete, shutdown and restart normally again before I'm in business.

Needless to say, a time consuming way of doing things.

Is there something I missed in the bios settings (or anywhere else) that will aviod this problem??

Thanks

It networked, so have you disabled it from logging onto network at startup, as this can cause it to sit for a few minutes until it times out, when it will finish booting...

More info needed
