A new pain in starting Windows 7
Well not entirely new by appearing to be fairly common Google says.
This morning I tried to start Windows 7 and after 13 attempts it started. What normally happens at start up is that it gets to 'Starting Windows' appearing on the screen with its 4 little stars bursting into MS's logo and then freezes. My sequence is to switch off and then on again and it proceeds as above. On VERY limited occasions it will start after two or three attempts and once it is up and running all is well.
Any ideas what the cause may be. I recently replaced my 2xDDR2 memory banks with 2gb each so it isn't memory related.........I think.
As I said, Google shows a really large world of worry on the problem.
