Please help, I am having a problem with my computer.....
I am running XP Pro, A 1.68GB cpu. and a g-force graphic card and 512mb ram.
The problem
When the computer is turned on, it starts up with all the normal stuff showing on the screen. It the screen then goes blank, there is no signs of life on the computer except for the power green light 'on' on the computer and the monitor. I have to wait for about 10 minutes before I get a chance to enter user password, enter password and the computer plays tune and states 'loading your personal settings' this takes about a minute to load, I then get a picture (the back ground picture) and a curser arrow, that moves freely across the screen with the movement of the mouse. It will stay like this for atleast 10 minutes before I get icons or a start bar. When I get the icons up they seem to work ok and reasonably quickly.
I have re-installed (repair) the XP Pro operating system. No difference.
Could it be a hardware or a software fault. I didn't realy want to format it and re-install if that does not solve the problem.
Please help all advice will be welcomed.
Many thanks.
