I have PC's that hang up at the screen "Applying Computer Settings". I then
have to hard boot the PC and try again. What causes the PC to hang up and
what can I do to fix this problem?
 
DNS settings are a likely culprit. If you're on a domain make sure they
correctly point to the DNS server(s). Then set up forwarders in DNS if they
are not already set up.
 
Clean boot the computer then if it boots into Windows OK you know one of the
programs is causing it. Restart a few programs at a time till you find the
problem. Use msconfig to disable startup items.
