In an attempt to clean up the system and such, I performed
a Check Disk. Right mouse on c: drive, and tools, scan
disk. received a message that said it would need
exclusive access to the disk and it would run on next
reboot. I rebooted. Scan disk ran in a "TEXT" type mode
and I received a message that it had FINISHED. After
leaving it at that screen for 1/2 hour or so, I decided
nothing was happening, no hard drive activity or
anything. I powered it down, restarted it. It came back
up and said it was scheduled to press a key or it would
start again. SO, I let it start again. Same situation.
This time, when it asked to start again, I pressed a key
at which time I was presented with the boot menu for XP.
Normal Boot, Safe Mode, Safe Mode Command prompt, Safe
Mode Networking - etc... I tried safe mode!
It proceeded to boot all the way until a driver called
AGP440.sys was displayed and hung. After searching
through the KB, and performing the steps described in
article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?
scid=kb;en-us;324764 and another reboot, it hung
approximately in the same place?
Any suggestions?
