Re: windows startup

Have you searched the similar posts on this forum?

Apart from that, you should boot in Safe Mode. If you can do that regularly without problems, then there's something happening at normal startup that needs diagnosis in Safe Mode; like what's being loaded etc.

So try that and report.

Re: windows startup

Did you start in "Safe Mode with Networking"? Then if everything's connected properly Internet Explorer should get you to the web.

You'll now need to report fairly precisely what goes wrong. Current information is too general.
