    I installed some software on pc to sync my outlook info to my laptop automatically today. after i restarted my pc, the quick Compaq screen came up as usual then the screen went black as usual but this time it stayed black. for a very long time. 5 to 10 minutes. i tried restarting several times but got the same result. I then just let it sit there black for a while and (to my surprise) the windows screen with the bar came up and loaded normally. it works fine once loaded. i performed the cleaning procedure and no luck. came back clean for the most part. then did a system restore which helped for a while but symtom is back. any ideas?

    xp sp3
    compaq amd dual core 4450e 2.31ghz
    3 gigs ram
    wireless n network
