I would first suspect a disk drive error. Strongly suggest that you boot your
system with a Windows ME startup diskette and run a full (long) SCANDISK C:
of your disk drive. You could run ScanDisk from within Windows ME, after booting
in to Safe Mode, but select the Thorough test. Either way, you need to run a through
test of the disk drive to see if there are any "read errors" and to see if ScanDisk
can correct them. As this will take a long time, you should start it and let it run
over night. Then see if it has improved your booting problem.
Second, multiple Spyware/Adware/Virus programs can cause this type of problem.
So you need to do through scans with Anti-Virus programs and Spyware/ADware scanning
programs. They slow down and hang the last part of the booting process.
