Re: start up freeze, on windows XP pro'

Greetings,

Try scanning your computer from viruses or spyware.

Trend-Micro offers a free online virus scan. This can be found here -
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Also try scanning your computer from any spyware, malware or adware. You can
try the following programs:

1. Spybot Search and Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
2. Adware - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
3. Microsoft Anti-Spyware (Beta) use at your own risk -

You can also try Trojan Remover (30 Day trial). This program removes trojans
and viruses from your computer. URL -

Lastly, if you haven't upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2, I recommend
you to download it from here -

Best of Luck!
