XP start up.

[Guest]

Every time I start Windows I get the message "Windows did not load
properly..." I then get several options one of which is "Start Windows
normally" as the default and a countdown to start.

Any idea how to solve this problem or how to bypass the countdown so that it
launches into Windows without the countdown?

Thanks in advance.

I'm having this problem too. I can't even boot into windows, it just keeps
rebooting itself. Is that whats happening to you?

Try Start, Run, type in

chkdsk /f

hit Enter, press Y in the command window, reboot and let the disk check run.

The OP is getting the startup menu countdown, not the disk check countdown.
