Hi, I hope someone can help me.
I have a Gateway computer and Windows ME. Recently, my computer stopped booting at the Windows splash screen. I didn't know what to do so I turned the computer on and off.
Now, the computer has to be turned on and off repeatedly and each time it gets a little farther in the boot process. It takes about 3 tries to get into safe mode. After it boots into safe mode, I reboot and it's fine! It boots perfectly and works perfectly.
I have NoAdware, Spybot and Fix-it Virus software, all of which I have run repeatedly. According to the software, I have not viruses or spyware.
I have run scandisk and disk cleanup and defragged the hard drive.
I can't seem to find an answer to this on the internet.
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thank you.
