For some unknown reason, my laptop "hangs" when booting.
This is a fairly recent turn of events. In order to get it
to boot, I must "Control-Alt-Delete", click "sign off",
then I get the boot screen again with the user sign on and
password request. Then I put my password in and the system
boots. Any ideas why this might be happening.
