Not sure if I've got a problem with my Windows XP or my monitor..!
For the past month or so, everytime I start up the computer, it stops loading half way through which means I have to restart again.
Sometimes I have to restart it about 5 or 6 times before I'll actually get into Windows.
You know when you see the logo with XP and the little green thing loading just before Windows starts? That's when it happens.
I have no idea what that's called so I know it's not helpful.. that's when it stops.
Ah dear. I know none of that makes sense. But if it does to you, do you know whether it's my XP playing up or my monitor.
I've had my monitor for about 6 or 7 years.. I think.
Time for a new one, methinks..

Does anyone else on this forum not personally know Turbonutter? :O[]
Programming some database administration functions for the hosting company I work for actually :-)
Like your tagline Robin, what on earth you doing up at 5.43 am ? cleaning your car ?
I'd be inclined to suggest you run memtest86 on your RAM. It runs off a floppy.

Ok. Good to know though. Someone did say it could be a problem with the monitor..
Thanks for the reply :)

This is almost certainly an XP issue.
Can;t help you though.
