Re: Start-up Freeze On Windows XP screen

First try starting in the SAFE MODE.
As soon as you see any display on your screen start tapping the F8 key until your get a menu.
Then choose the SAFE Mode.
If you get a safe mode start. Do a normal shut down and restart.
That may fix the problem, but in either case let us know the results and you will get more useful
help.

By the way, is this some thing that just started? How long ago? Have you added any new hardware?
Any new software?
We need all the information you can provide to "guess" at what your problem might be.

Help! On start-up, the computer goes to the blue Windows XP screen and then
freezes there. The mouse moves, but it never goes beyond this screen and no
icons appear. Any suggestions?
