My win95 machine stops every time it gets to the win95 splash screen. Then I have to reset it, it goes into safe mode, after I reset it again it starts OK. <br>
<br>
Any ideas??
 
When you see the splash screen, hit the ESC key. This will make it go away so you can see what's happening in autoexec.bat.<br>
<br>
Also, try booting with
 
Yes.<br>
When it is hung, do a ctrl-alt-delete. If it says mprexe (not responding) then the problem is with password lists. Restart in DOS Mode and delete c:\windows\*.pwl That will fix this problem. If it persists, you might have to put the delete command in autoexec.bat<br>
hope it helps<br>
later,<br>
