XP Freeze at login

[puzzled186]

Running XP Pro. If I don't login in immediately, then XP freezes to
the point that not even ctrl-alt-del gets its attention. Sometimes I
do get to login, but then I cannot select anything from Start and
again ctrl-lat-del has no effect and I have to reboot.

Any ideas? I looked at the even log... nothing.

TIA

Hi,

Curious, though I'm betting that you have a software conflict, see if =
the steps here help identify the problem:
