Okay, Mart, I went thar and looked again. In Device Manager,
there are *no* Exclamation Points or errors, but down in
"Other Devices" there are 3 yellow question marks....one
at PCI Multimedia Device. and one each at USB device.

I did full system scandisk including surface check, with
no errors found.

What's your next advice? Shall I try to remove the devices
with the yellow question marks?

Besides Zee's most important question, when in Safe Mode take a look in
Device Manager and make a note of any/all errors, conflicts and multiple
entries (especially modems, video or sound cards and their drivers). Might
just reveal a potential hardware issue.

William,

What happens exactly when you start Windows in Normal Mode?

That's the best I can describe it.
I have a hard drive from my old PC
with ME on it. It won't boot in Normal
Mode in my new PC, I suspect because
it was mad with a different BIOS.

However, it boots just fine in Safe Mode.
Is there a way to get around this?
(I hope I made it clear enough).
Thanks.
