Hello, I have this little problem that sometimes when restarting Windows and its booting back up at the Windows XP Home screen it freezes and the blue moving bars just stop. Now this only happens to me sometimes and its getting pretty annoying because I have to do a hard restart.

Anyone have any advice? …thx
 
correct me if i'm wrong, but the blue boot bar means you are running winxp sp1, update to sp2, this will probably solve the issue.
 
Have you tried to see if it boots into safemode without freezing? F8 during startup.

XP home users have a green one until they update to SP2, then its blue :p

hmm... the OS wont let me save over the c:\boot.ini file.... ?
 
ok thats normal what u do is save it as boot2.ini or somthing else, then delete the orignal boot.ini, and then rename the boot2.ini to boot.ini

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
