Boot-up hangs in Windows XP Home
When I boot up, it is suddenly very slow and sometimes does not bring
up my personal settings. After it checks the floppy and the CD-ROM drives, it hangs at the CD-ROM drive and will not go any further sometimes. Sometimes it will make it all the way to the desktop, but continues to check the CD-ROM drive and the CD icon flashes periodically next to the cursor until I open the CD-ROM drawer. That always "fixes" it until the next time a boot up. It also seems to be a random thing. Thanks for any suggestions. Harry

Harry, go into the Bios and set the hard drive as first boot device.
See if that helps any. It can be found usually under Advanced Bios Settings. wrote in message ups.com... When I boot up, it is suddenly very slow and sometimes does not bring up my personal settings.
