After clean install WinXP Pro gets to starting windows and then sits for a
good minute and a half. After exhausting all the tips in the Knowledge Base I
finally decided to come here and ask for assistance.
Thanks in advance for any assistance;

After you did a clean install did you update all your drivers. You may have
had the correct drivers before the clean install but not afterwards if the
latest ones were not on the original disks.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties. Hardware,
Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

Look in Event Viewer at the System and Application logs for Warning or
Error report and post a copy here You can access Event Viewer by
selecting Start, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event
Viewer. Now start your message(email) and do a paste into the body of the
message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report
complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.


Hope this helps.
