Computer not loading up
I have a Windows Millenium operating system.
Lately, my computer doesn't completely load on 'start-up'. It only goes as far as showing Task Scheduler Service window. I try Control, Alt., Delete and most of the time that doesn't help and I must push the 'Re-set' button. 'Windows' then does load up but only after the Scan Disk window appears which states 'improper Shutdown Detected, Checking disk for errors'. I recently deleted the following Temporary Internet files: Cookies, all files in Temporary Internet folder and all offline content stored locally. Would those deletions have any effect and, if so, advise me how to re-instate any necessary items? Would appreciate any advice you can give me. Many thanks. Stewart Fluney |

Rick:
Thanks for your response. The Task Scheduler window has always come up when I start the computer. This is because I don't leave the computer running and there is always a task that was missed when it is turned back on. Insofar as the 'start-up' problem I mentioned is concerned, it has much improved today , if not completely, for whatever reason. I am hoping this will continue. I just tried starting up the computer again, twice, as I write this memo and there was no problem. I'm going to consider the matter closed and thanks for trying to help. It is much appreciated.
