Actually, I did check one of them, and it gave no details......but he's running 98.......would that matter......and still, I've never seen it scroll by when windows is loading (prior to the desktop)..........
I'm doing a full scandisk on it now (which has nothing to do with this problem, it's been crying for one for awhile now, and I've been hitting cancel), and the hard drive is pretty full, it's only 6 gigs or so, and it's at 45% --- I'll take another look when it's finished.......
I did uninstall a couple of programs earlier to free up disk space....one was some type of net to phone kinda deal, I should know better and write this crap down....and another one was some kind of pc to phone communication program.........but still, I wouldn't think the c: directory is a good place for an .exe file......
