Boot up problems

[Guest]

When I boot up the computer it let's me put in my Password but after that, it
does not load my desktop it just hangs. Also I have tried booting up into
safe-mode and selecting the last known configuration and still it does not
load the desktop settings.

Check that explorer.exe is the default shell to start. Look at the Reg_Sz
string value of;
"Shell"="Explorer.exe"
found at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon


The profile may also be corrupt so try creating a new account and logging on
with that or these may help you.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your response. However, I did follow your instructions on this
issue. When I did get to the "Startup and Recovery" area, I did not know what
to do next. Here are my findings via the "Startup and Recovery"

System failure:
-checked - Write an event to the system log
-checked-Send an administrative alert
-checked-Automatically restart

Write debugging information
small memory dump 64kb
small dump directory- %SystemRoot%\Minidump

Thanks for your assistance
Paul

Have a good read of this first.

Have you made an ERD? If not you should have done. If you do have one,
use it.

Not sure what this means.

It is best to have just one user if you can help it.
I prefer wondows 2000 to the newest one.
