To install the operating program again might help as well. If the probel is a hard ware issue there is some other approach to discover the bad component.

All of you are making a simple problems seem so damn hard to fix. Next time you log in and it freezes, try this

CTRL+ALT+DELETE > Shutdown > Log Off


Then log back in and you're good to go. done

What I'm trying to figure out is how to stop this completely. It seems to be common on XP SP 1-3, from HOME - Pro.

I've got a similar problem. My computer wasn't booting up properly and getting stuck on the blue XP "Windows is starting up" screen (it would never go to "Welcome" as it's supposed to). I can however get into safe mode. Sometimes, I can also run a chkdsk and it kicks it in, but doing that every other time I turn the computer on is too laborious.

It can't be a hard drive issue, because I went out and put in a brand new one...and the problem still persists. Once I had XP installed on the new HD, it was working fine until I started installing all the drivers, and then ultimately a Windows update...my computer is from 2004 so maybe something on the update didn't agree with it?

So I'm under the assumption that the issue is either 1. A faulty driver somewhere, 2. Another piece of hardware that's not the hd is failing, or 3. A Windows update is not agreeing with older computers.

My IT friends told me to try to reinstall the drivers and maybe make sure the memory is attached properly.

I'm on 50 50 agree on both no9t9 and BuffaloHELP. I can't think of any other possible reasons that could cause your problems. Answer BuffaloHELP's questions so we can proceed the troubleshooting further, otherwise if all fails, the harddrive could be failing like what no9t9 said. You case is worst when the problem remains even you tried booting in Safe Mode.

As for suggestions posted by the rest, I was wondering how would k2wl execute your suggestions if he is not able to boot successfully into Windows desktop? He stated in his first post that he got stuck when the Welcome screen showed. He can't even login properly into his local account into his desktop. Hence suggestions like click START > RUN > whatsoever would not possibly work.

the solution is to press alt + tab when it freezes on the welcome screen and press enter. this happens because the time in the bios is out dated . after logging in set the time and date and your good to go. hope this helps.
