hi everybody,
I have been working all day to try to solve this problem and I don't get anywhere.
When I start the computer it comes to the log on screen where the bar moves on the screen and that's it. It stops there, sometimes it freezes and then go on for a while then freezes and so on it goes but never moves on from there.
I have to turn off the pc, then XP ask if I want to start in normal mode which I do and then it open XP as normal? This happens each time.
I also have a problem with the cd burner. XP does see it as sec. but not primary. It is no life in the burner and XP does not see it from system. It used to work and now it dosnt.
I have reinstalled XP after formating the disk but the start-up problem is still there!
I have never seen this problem before.
Perhaps something in the bios? I don't know and I don't know how to poke around there to figure it out.
Another strange thing, some days ago a file called 'windows' was in the garbage can and I'm sure I have not deleted this file, it's surely a file I don't want to see there. The garbage can was empty but still I could see this file when right clicking but not in explore mode.
I really don't know where to take it from here. Any input is very much appricated!
Cheers,
Morten
