Hi everyone...
At first when I upgraded to Windows XP SP2, the computer would freeze for about
20 seconds once the startup screen would appear, but then the computer would continue
loading. However, once I downloaded the latest round of patches from Microsoft,
the computer would start by hanging for 20 seconds and then the progress bar would
move extremely slow (the green bar would move one space every minute). So slow that
I could never get Windows XP to load. I even tried letting the computer try booting
up overnight, but all I got was the same startup screen. I tried booting up into
Safe Mode, and the computer would hang after loading mup.sys.
After formatting the computer several times, I found a solution. I have a motherboard
with an nForce chipset. I didn't install NVIDIA's IDE drivers and that fixed the
problem. I installed Windows XP up through SP2 and installed all of the patches.
The computer does not hang at all during the startup screen. Now I know this will
not fix everyone's problems, but I hope it helps out a few people at least.
