RE: XP Pro Hangs on start up

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



You mean Compaq?

This also happened to me with my HP( HP and Compaq have the same bootup type
of loading the name and then the OS). Just keep pressing F8 while on the
Compaq screen and just keep going. You should get to the options. Just choose
Back to OS choices menu.

Maybe it is something with your OS. The most frequent problem is the
'hal.dll'.

Reply and tell me what is the problem with your computer when starting up.
