Okay. I'm having a startup/shutdown problem with my Windows XP. The problem is that most of the times I turn on/restart my computer Windows XP freeze. I can see the windows XP pro loading screen but after that a blue screen appears where my PC freezes (before the welcome screen). I must then restart computer and hopefully scandisc runs which is when windows start normally without any problems. But the problem occurs again after restarting computer.
Before this startup problem I had another problem which seems to be gone now. It was similar to this one except that the computer froze when I tried to shut it down. I've noticed that every time before it froze (when I shut it down) a blue screen appeared with a small Windows XP logo slowly fading in for about 3 seconds. After that the blue screen disappeared and I could see my desktop again. Then followed the normal shutdown except that the system froze while in "Saving your settings..." screen. I do not have this problem any more but I still see the XP screen popping up for a moment before disappearing.

I do not know what is causing this problem but it is very irritating so I do not wish to see any "I have the same problem..." posts. I want the solution for this problem!

Ow yea. The problem first appeared after I installed the latest version of CloneCD and software for my new keyboard I recently bought. I doubt that CloneCD has anything to do with this. Tho I uninstalled even the keyboard software I still have the problem. The system restore helped for a while but not any more...
I even uninstalled/reinstalled drivers for my keyboard countless times. It's a PS/2 Office Internet Keyboard from Logitech. We'll see if the software update can help.

Ow well. This sounds very complicated. If you guys can't help me I'll have to get a Windows XP expert. And I am NOT looking forward to reinstalling Windows.

I hope I provided enough info...
Thanks.
