Need your help, guys. A problem has just recently emerged when I boot up my HP Pavilion.
In the start-up sequence, there's a screen that comes on (black and white) that gives me a choice between Windows XP Home edition or Recovery. If I hit enter on the Home edition, the computer boots fine. I found this out when I came in and saw the computer frozen on a Welcome screen. I hit the power button and turned it off because I couldn't get past the Welcome screen to solve the freezing problem. When I rebooted, I hit the Home edition choice to see what would happen, and it booted fine. To make sure this wasn't a fluke, I've checked it several times. I always have to choose Home edition even though Home edition is highlighted for me.
I have Windows XP, 1.4 processor, and the computer is a little over a year old.
I use Norton's Anti-Virus, Zone Alarm, Spybot, and AdAware. All are up-to-date and I run the spyware programs regularly and they say there is nothing hidden (should I believe that?) anywhere.
TIA
