i had that problem yesterday it was caused by a bad install of norton system works 2003 i booted in safe mode and got rid of the program then botted up a few times, and re-installed it. after that ive had no problems. or you could use system restore Regards, Jamie McCoy

basically think back to when it started happeneing, what new hardware/software did you add just before it started happening Regards, Jamie McCoy

Right-click My Computer, then properties, then advanced, then on Startup and Recovery settings. Make sure "Write an event to the system log" is checked, apply and exit. This will force Xp to write an error statement in your Event Viewer, which you can then use to gain more information about the problem. If this option was ALREADY enabled, you can goto Control Panel, Admin Tools, then Event Viewer. Try to remember the last time this happened, then scroll down to entries around that date/time, you will find an error message which will give you more detail. You can then either post the info back here, or take it to the Microsoft Knowledge Base. I don't suffer from insanity, I embrace it.
