re: Windows will not start. Sunday, May 3, 2009 at 5:59 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Norm (1501 messages posted) You might want to check the Compaq(HP)website for a bios update. Be careful though if you don't do the upgrade correctly you can really mess things up. Do you have to press ESC to continue because this is not normal?? Turning on the system should boot up Windows XP without doing anything. Do you have a up to date Anti Virus Program running? Have you run a Malware scan?? http://www.malwarebytes.org/index.php Written in response to: Windows will not start.
