Windows Freezing On Startup


Recommended Posts

Well I turn my computer on, and it goes to the screen with the little green progress bar. It takes about 25-30 moves across the screen before it goes to the logo screen, then after it does that i can count about 13 seconds before everything freezes. It does it no matter what. If I move the mouse around, it will freeze. If I try to log in, it will freeze. Don't know what to do.

I can log into safe mode but that's about it. I'm using a System Rescue CD right now to get on firefox and type this. My computer hasn't worked in about 1.5 months since trying to install SP1. Need anymore details? thanks, Sean.

Is your PC a proprietary system such as a Dell? Is the WinXP that was installed from a legit CD with key? Why are you finally updating to SP1? Did you make sure the system was malware free, the cache was cleared and the drive defragged before attempting to update?

First, it helps to identify your operating system in the beginning.

Second, have you read our Vista tips section? In that section JSKY outlined the procedure to download and install SP1.

Wait for one of the people who run Vista and know how to recover from this problem.

MS also offers free support for SP1 until March 2009.
