Yikes. A windows 98 start up disk will work okay to get you to where yo want to go. Then c:\format \s and reload the system.

Hmmm, had that problem with an old house I used to live in. Seems the windows had been painted shut...<br><br>Seriously, You may have driver problems. Try going in in safe mode, (hold down the ctrl button) and dump every driver that is not necessary, modem, printer, scanner, etc. restart and see...

For starters, disable fast shutdown in system configuration utility. Also, check for a bad (messed up, corrupt, etc.) exit sound. If not then go to MOFT's site and check their fifty ways to leave your windows...<br>Bill

Is the machine networked? If so, remove the networking adapters one at a time to see which one might be causing the problem. Happened to me twice at work on two different machines.
