Every time I restart my system (XP PRO all SP's and patches applied) I get
the screen that says:

"We're sorry for the inconvenience but Windows did not start
successfully..."

Options are safe modes, last known good configuration, and start normally...
It doesn't seem to matter if I've installed some software or restarting just
to test it... same results...

Shut down seems to work normally...

Does anyone have any thoughts on this ??

thanks... m
 
You could try going to Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Event
Viewer. Look for warnings or errors under system and application that might
give you some indication as to what the problem is. Hope that helps.

Hi Steve...

Nothing in the events log... and I tried a shutdown... no problems... then a
restart... same problem... but no events logged with the exception of the
normal service start ups...

Any other ideas ???

thanks... m
 
Sorry I don't have any other ideas. I guess I'd backup everything to cd's
or a USB hardrive and try a fix windows and if that doesn't work do a
complete format and re-install. A pain, but that's what I had to do two
weeks ago when I lost NT Loader and the pc wouldn't boot at all. Taught me
to do weekly backups instead of monthly. Good luck.
