Any help would be appreciated. When my computer starts up it first goes to the screen telling me the buttons I press if I want to go to BIOS or start in safe mode for a relatively long time, it then goes into the windows load screen for roughly 10mins. This is very aggravating. I used to have the same problem, but it would only happen if I used the tower to shutdown or the computer crashed. Now it seems to do it every time. Although for some reason about a fortnight ago, it worked correctly a few times...

Also does anybody have any ideas on how to make windows log on in the morning at a certain time? In Bios I have it setup so the computer runs at a certain time every day but I don't know how to make the computer log in at a certain time each day. I know you can make the computer automatically log on to a certain account every time you power up the system, but that is very insecure method and I would prefer not to do that. My crappy brother thinks that means he can use my account as well . That is all a means to run programs like frost wire and firefox - while I am still asleep, which don't seem to want to work if I haven't atleast logged in before hand. I believe they still work if the scheduler runs them after I have logged out though. So if you have a method that successfully runs them without previously logging in, I would be happy to give it a shot. My system automatically goes to the welcome screen after 5 minutes of inactivity and you have to log back on.

FYI I am running Windows XP.
