Hi all --
I am having trouble booting up XP. When I turn on the machine, I get to the
screen where it tells me it's a Windows product and I have the F2 or F12 to
go the set-up menus. The next screen is black with a blinking cursor in the
upper left hand corner. It doesn't go anywhere from there. When you cycle
the power, you're in the same place. *Sometimes* I can move through to the
log-on screen, but it's hanging more frequently. You can bet the next time I
make it through I'm going to back it all up (although I backed up not that
long ago).
Tips? Am I going to have to reinstall XP? Should XP boot up and I can
clean things up or defrag, what should I do?
THANK YOU!
