Re: Boot Up is Hanging (Sledge Hammer ready and swinging)

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Will
I have tried that but it still hangs when strating up, the best i can get to
(on the very rae ocasion) is the xp user login but when i run the cursor over
any account it does not give me a option to click to run any account, the
mouse can be scrolled around.

And need less to say XP was on the sytem from the store and i can not find
the boot disk anywhere, everythingelse but the boot disk..........Argh Argh!!
