I upgraded 3 workstations from Windows 98 to XP-Pro. All
workstations are exactly the same hardware wise.
1 works, no problems at all.
2 workstations, upgraded fine but when booting into
windows before getting to the XP login screen (sort of
still in the DOS area) - Windows will just freeze.
The only fix seems to be to reboot to safe mode, uninstall
the display/video driver, reboot to regular mode where
windows finds new hardware (same uninstalled video driver)
and then works fine until next boot.
Initial Video card: ATI Rage Pro 128, no current drivers
other than those provided by XP.
Did change Video card to see if that was the problem, put
int Radeon 7000 w/latest 2004 drivers and still same
problem.
There is something, after turning on the computer where
you have the Windows logo and a moving bar.... the bar
moves for about 30 seconds and just freezes there until
booting into safe mode, uninstalling video driver, etc.
Can anyone make any suggestions here - at this point it
must be a Windows software conflict or problem.
Thanks !
