If I push restart it will go through the whole bit again and start up. Sometimes it starts normally so any ideas. I also have problems with my antivirus program it stalls half way through and brings up a blue screen with vxd problem. Help cheers Kawaujaffa	Guest (0)

If you don't look for them on the net. I suggest that you first go into safe mode and get rid of the jingle and see if it stalls then.	Guest (0)

Troubleshoot Startup Problems in Windows 2000 / XP support.microsoft.com 'This article describes general procedures that you can use to troubleshoot startup problems in Windows 2000 [possibly Windows XP]. A successful Windows startup consists of the following four phases: Initial phase, Boot loader phase, Kernel phase, and Logon phase. If a problem occurs during one of these phases, Windows may not start correctly and you may experience one of the following issues: (1) The computer stops responding (hangs). (2) You receive an error message. Windows 2000 provides a variety of options that you can use to troubleshoot this issue, including safe mode, Recovery Console, and an Emergency Repair disk. When you use the Last Known Good Configuration feature, you start your computer by using the most recent settings that worked. This feature restores registry information and driver settings that were in effect the last time the computer started successfully. Use this feature when you are unable to start Windows after you make a change to the computer (for example, if you install or upgrade a device driver).' Cheers.	Guest (0)
