Windows doesn't start up automatically
This expands on a previously posted thread.
Each time I start I get a window asking me what kind of startup I want. Normal works, but I would like to fix whatever is causing the B/W window to appear demanding manual intervention. Yesterday I did a repair/install and I've down loaded all updates to XP and Service Pack 2.
I'd appreciate a hint about how to proceed.

actualy there are instruction of how to proceed. It will tell you to install it. that means RUN after you have found where you downloaded to. if it is not on your control panel then you have not istalled yet. capisce.

Go to "run" on the start menu, type "msconfig" hit enter. Goto the boot.ini tab and make sure the "/safemode" is unchecked. Here is a webpage with pictures detailing the above method.

Windows doesn't start
Thanks for the tip. It is not checked.
I'm probably going to pay a geek to look at my machine. I also have problems with windows and McAfee telling me that pop up blockers are turned off but I still can't get a desired blocker on a trusted website.
