Problem booting WinME

When I switch on my Dimension, Windows ME starts to load, the desktop appears, the box down near the clock starts to fill up but then just stops. A few seconds later the screen goes blue and I'm told to restart my computer. I press the restart button, scandisk runs and Windows boots up OK. I haven't added any new software recently. What could be causing this to happen?

    Well that's a great help. Is there an anti-voodoo package available?

    Actually, if you haven't tried...

    Reboot, as soon as the bios scren is gone, hit F8 a few times until a StartUp Menu appears.
    Select Fail-Safe mode.
    That'll get you into windows do find the bug.

    Once in windows, running 'msconfig' and disabling startup programs could help...

    That's all I've got as far as VooDoo White MagiK...

    I'll give it a go- it seems to have settled down for now. Thanks a lot.
