Computer is almost year old. Recently upgraded to Xp2; and since then computer hangs on restart. It doesn't work itself out, and I must then manually push button to shut down computer. Does anyone have a remedy; or I should ask....a remedy that is easy to understand and follow. :tazz:

Thanks.

Note the time, reboot the computer

at start up...

start > run
eventvwr.msc
<enter>

Look under systems and applications for items with red Xs...list them here.

this is like pulling teeth

How about double clicking on the error and posting what it says?

The more info you give, the better people can help....if you're going to hand it out piecemail there is little hope of getting this resolved

download the above and install

Reboot. Then reboot a second time. On the second reboot, the problem should not be evident (might be the first time)

OK, go into BIOSm turn off/disable any power management settings that you can. Reboot.

Does that address it?

Do you mean go into the registry? I don't know what the heck to do in there; am afraid I'll really screw something up. I did look around for power anything.........Tasks scheduled, only one which is for McAfee. Also don't have hibernate checked off........
Question........... this problem began after I applied the XP 2 upgrade. Might this be source of this problem?
