Hi,since a couple of weeks at the start up my pc ( windows xp home sp2,1 gb
ram ) stops loading at the user interface and I have to switch it off and on
again to restart;than it works w/o any problems. When I have to restart it
for example after an update etc no problems: the pc seems to have problems
only in the morning at the first and "cold" start.I regularly update it. Can
you help?
 
Don't start it in the morning, afternoons only! Just kidding.
Go to: Start>Run>type MSCONFIG and click OK
Click the Startup tab and see all that are checked/enabled.
Uncheck/disable all except your anti-virus app>click Apply>Close
and reboot. After reboot, close window stating you've changed
your startup. Are you still having the problem? If not, you can
run MSCONFIG again and recheck/enable the items you had checked
ONE-AT-A-TIME to find which one is the culprit causing this situation.
 
I did it but I'm still having the problem,could it be an hardware problem? I
have no idea,have never had it.
 
You stated the problem started a couple of weeks ago. Have you tried
a System Restore to before the problem started? You can go back up
to 90 days. I do not believe it to be a hardware problem, but very
likely a XP System file problem.
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.

You can also do a System File Checker to check for corrupt system files.
Start>Run>type SFC /SCANNOW and press OK (space between C and /).
This will activate the file checker and if it finds any corrupt files may
ask you
to insert your WindowsXP installation disk to replace missing or corrupt
files.
Good Luck :~) and happy putering.
