hello I did my windows cd, booted, installed...Everything went fine. However, sometimes I can't log into Windows. The computer starts, and when it comes to the screen where you have that bar at the bottom going, it stays there and doesn't want to move. The only way I could log into Windows is to go into safe mode, run a program for fixing registry and then it logs...Any idea??? I have SATA drives, if it makes any difference, Please NOW in Microsoft Windows XP section, use [TAGS] in your topic's title. See rules. --Sonic
