Conversely, is the machine powering off automatically? The key question to me is this: If it is powering down properly and not running scandisk on startup, then you probably don't have a serious problem, given that it could be difficult to resolve. If it isn't shutting down properly, it could be a program running in the background that isn't closing correctly. Have you installed any new software recently? Let me know, Rob	Guest (0)

I am running a program called '1st Impressions' which lets me change the logos at startup and shutdown and have been doing so for a couple of years. The last time this happened I came across the same problem somebody else had in a letter to a magazine and the answer given was just to alter a figure in the Registry and it worked, it was a 1 to a 0 or vise versa. I just can't find the place to do the alteration. I have been re-installing a lot of programs because I am now running Windows Me. It is not a serious problem but I miss my colourful logos.
