reinstall problems
Hi
I have formatted my C Drive and reinstalled XP. All working fine, all the drivers back on still fine. Went online and started installing all the Windows XP updates. Problems begin with Service Pack 1. After install and restart, the boot up sequence has changed. After the initial glimpse of the bios, etc, the screen goes blank, then changes to a white progress bar at the bottom and sits there for about 5 mins, before starting normally. This now happens everytime on boot up.
please help
Thanks

There was no reason to install SP1. SP2 would have overwritten it anyway.

I would try to install SP2 if possible.

When you say you tried again:

Did you Clean Install XP from scratch?

Have you checked your BIOS options for such settings as "Quick Boot"?

This loading bar is part of the BIOS: yes?

It runs before any Windows screen appears?

Hi

No, must admit never heard of quick boot? Please explain what this is and where I can find the option.
Thanks
