i posted this as a combo post earlier but to no avail. so this is sortof a repost. but anyway, ok every time my computer boots up i see the BIOS screen writing and then that dissappears and i see a blank screen (instead of the windows xp ntoskrnl.exe that is supposed to show up) I see a blank screen for about 30-45 seconds and then windows shows up. I usually takes longer to boot up aswell. when the ntoskrnl.exe worked it only took about 15-25 seconds to boot. please help. im not computer illeterate, I know computers but i dont like to mess with stuff that make my computer boot up, I have alot of my son's pictures that i can not afford to loose. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi, Viper.

Do you have anything after "/fastdetect" in your Boot.ini located on the root of your C:\ or whatever your boot drive/partition is?

blank screen?? maybe the option /noguiboot in boot.ini ...

or

a picture mentionned in registry is missing ???

there are no blank image in ntoskernel.exe!

I believe he knows that already, mouvda and I already asked him about the boot.ini file, we shall await his answer.
