    When the computer is off, power on the computer and tap the F8 key until you get to advanced boot options... Select, SAFE MODE, and see how long it takes to boot up...

    If it boots up relatively fast, then your problem is software-related and we'll have to do a bit of cleansing...

        Go to run-then type 'cleanmgr' and do select all temp files there to clean ur pc and atlast restart ur computer. If problem remains then try to upgrade ur pc.

        You can safely ignore the post above. What OS are you running?

          If you are not part of a LAN where you need to share documents & hw, disable the Workstation Service and reboot. Let us know what happens.

            Go to START - RUN and type: services.msc (then press ENTER)
            Scroll down to Workstation Service
            Set it to DISABLED
            Close the Window
            Reboot
