when i do a warm reboot and when i go pass the winxp splash screen and before i get to load windows my monitor shuts down for 1 or 2 seconds and my windows takes forever to load up....and i scanned for viruses and don't have any...
now after it loads up windows i shutdown for 2 minutes and turn system back on and it loads up everything just fine....
what could be causing that??
i have my windows updated and all my drivers updated...
thanks alot for your help...

its probably either searching for the network or reconfiguring device manager. I would guess the latter since it does not happen every time. For win98 a scanreg /restore or scanreg /fix would be in order. No idea for winxp.
