    Windows XP freezing up(question)

    One of the servers I run for a client has windows xp Pro on it, its a security system, it will boot up perfectly fine but freezes before launching the startup program, if you let it sit for a few minutes then reboot it loads fine, but when you restart it locks up as soon as it gets in windows, what would cause this?

      If I were you I'd open msconfig and disable everything in the startup tab that wasn't essential to Windows starting properly. Then you'd find out if it was a software(Windows) or hardware(HDD) problem.

      btw - you are local to me, we should hook up sometime.

              probably has a rootkit installed on it

              format, reinstall off-network install sec patches and then put it online

              i know ppl who have had their systems compromised by worms seconds after an xp installation.

                      you should have a bunch of stuff disabled in servicies. plus you should goto cmd, and type netstat -a to see the active connections, check to see no ports are open that shouldnt be. if their is any weird activity try telneting to a port if it connects they their is something installed there.
