Windows XP Pro, fully updated.
I leave my computer on almost all the time and today I reboot for the first
time in a while (nothing changed), and now Windows takes forever to boot up
at the status bar loading screen.
During the screen, my USB headset and wireless keyboard/mouse light
indications keep going on and off. After about 3 minutes, Windows boots.
About every 30 seconds the mouse pointer freezes in place and doesn't move,
but if you move the mouse during this time you can see where it would be
(links will underline, etc). After a few seconds it'll catch up and zoom to
where you've moved in in the mean time.
I've also gotten 2 BSODs since this time.
It's strange since nothing has happened that I'm aware of. Done a disk
cleanup, defrag, malware scan, and CHKDSK, problem remains.
Any ideas on what to do, besides the obnoxious Windows CD repair?
Thanks.
