Re: XP Home Logo Freeze

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I get to the same spot, the Windows XP Logo screen with the Blue Background.
I do not use a login password. I cannot do a shutdown in the normal way. I
can only shutdown by holding the power button down. When I turn it back on,
I end up back at the same Logo screen. After I power down, the system does
not seem to do a chkdsk on the harddrive. I have also let the battery run
down and go into hibernate. That did not help either.
