Re: Boot problems

For a single problematic boot please check Event Viewer for Warning /
Error Reports in the System and Application logs and post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

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.

My system is XP-SP2-Home. Security programs running include Windows
Defender,
AVG-Free AV, AVG-Free Antispyware, Comodo firewall, Mailwasher free,
Winpatrol and Spyware Guard.,
Lately I have been having a problem with booting that after the XP logo
the
screen goes blank and nothing happens necessitating a hard reset. Then I
get
the startup menu. Selecting "last good configuration" sometimes helps but
usually not. If I enter safe mode, log on to my account and then perform
restart I then get into the entry screen normally. However this whole
process takes too much time and clearly something is wrong. I performed
routine maintenance o cleaning up temp files and cleaning the registry
(CCleaner), but hat didn't improve matters.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
