When booting up my PC the XP banner screen comes up and hangs there.

[Guest Pete]

I posted the msg below on Feb 2 snd. I thank you for your replies.

 

What I want to further explain my problem is after investigating it,

 

is that this only happened/s when I go into Windows update and

 

download/install the 9 critical updates. After restarting as it says

 

to do that's when the PC hangs. To get my PC up I had to put my

 

previous backup on and then I was able to use my PC again.

 

Do any of you have a solution to this? I was thinking of trying to

 

narrow it down by installing the first 3 updates, restarting to see if

 

it happens and if there is no problem trying the next 3 etc. etc., and

 

see if I can pin the culprit down. Can you think of a better way

 

instead of taking all this time?

 

I THANK YOU all again for helping me.

It will not go ahead and come to a full desktop page. This only

 

happens when I completely shut down my PC and then restart it later

 

on. If I leave my PC on all the time I do not not have a problem. Do

 

you folks have any suggestions how I can cure this problem? ]
