If I first disable wireless adapter, I can boot up. As long as I'm not
connected to wireless network, I can reboot. But if I'm connected to
wireless network and reboot, boot hangs up while loading Personal Settings.

All suggestions much appreciated

Maybe it's searching for a network connection. Does it eventually
continue with the install?
 
Thanks. I had assumed it was hung because after 3-5 minutes it was still
frozen. But this time I just went out for awhile and returned and it worked.
So maybe there is some startup program or something that inordinately
searches for a long long time. But at least it doesn't hang....

Here's a version of the help steps I've seen before. I found it with a
Google Groups search:

"The following steps may help if you think it is network-related.

Control Panel/Internet Connections/LAN or High Speed Internet. R-click
"Local Area Connection." Choose Properties. R-click "TCP/IP." Choose
Properties.

If the radio button for "Obtain an IP address automatically" is already
chosen, choose the alternative option: "Use the following IP address."
Then type in 192.168.0.1. For the subnet address, use 255.255.255.0. If
another IP address is already indicated, leave it alone. Your problem
is somewhere else.
