Boot-up peculiarity
My XP system has developed a new quirk during boot-up.
Everything acts normally up to the point where all the
icons appear as underdeveloped and then fill in with
their identities. The next step, always, and I'm used
to it, is that Norton Protection Center goes through its
checking and announced all is well in the toolbar.
Now the screen goes blank, black, for maybe 5 or 6 seconds,
and comes right back, and boot-up is complete. This is new
and I don't like it.
No, I haven't installed anything new lately (except maybe a
few routine Windows Update non-critical updates), and, yes,
I've done complete virus checks and SpyBot and AdAware and
Defrag and ChkDsk/R and everything comes up clean.
Maybe it ain't broke and I don't have to fix it.......but
has anybody a clue as to why this is, and how do I get rid
it?
Thanks................
