Thanks Mary, I have done this but just in case, I will
give this a second try. However, the Laptop was working
fine, and I have added nothing to it as far as software
other than Microsoft Updates, so I dont see how it could
be any other startup programs. My Msconfig is very clean,
My only glues now are drivers that fail to load at
startup, as I stated, but I have no idea how to trouble
shoot this!!
