Win XP stalls on startup
 |
I have a problem with windows XP. The biggest problem is that only it happens sometimes, but since I've installed everything new in my PC, month ago it happened 4 times.
During the startup screen of windows XP, it just stalls, the blue bar stays on going from left to right, but it never goes further with the startup. I've installed all the windows updates.
Somehow safe mode doesn't work, it shows a long list of filenames and then asks me if I want to load a certain *.dll file.. and then stalls as well. The only thing I can do is install windows again....
My system is Athlon +2800, 512 MB memory, gigabyte 7N400Pro2, radeon 9600XT
Hope someone knows what to do..

What file does it ask you to load? That may help us determine what needs to be done...

I Installed a fresh copy of XP, then did all the updates, Add Aware and virusscans. Defragging not nessesary I think....
