Update to Building my first PC/What kind of case?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Spybot appears to freeze on my main computer at a particular spot. If I
leave it alone for about 30-60 seconds it continues. Try it.

| Did you download the latest version and then update SpyBot
?
| www.safer-networking.org
|
| TweakUI will let you alter the splash screen, also there
is
| a setting in the BIOS for "quiet" so it doesn't show the
| very useful dialogues during booting.

You can't bypass POST screen - that's the core tests/configuration run from
on-board BIOS. It sets up the basics, ready to run the higher-level OS.
Re Spybot prob - try removing it and re-installing. If that doesn't solve
the problem, you'll probably need to go the Spybot forum, (that's a
software prob, this is "hardware" ng). Here's the link
http://www.spybot.info/en/support/index.html

Yes there are other progs (google for them?) but Spybot is good - just make
sure you have the latest, not the beta (info of probs with that in Spybot
forum).

Well done, successfully building yr new pc!

Sincerely, Len
