10292 2001-03-22 00:02:00 Your machine may be hanging during startup. Try holding onto F5 when starting the pc to go into safe mode. If it starts in safe mode ok and the icons appear, then go start/run and type msconfig, next go to the startup tab and see if it is obvious what is causing the problem. If not obvious, try unchecking items, starting with latest installed if possible, restart to test. Keep going until the machine boots correctly.

Good luck

Regards PC
