Computer re-start help

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

Hi,
Every time a program asks to restart the computer.I do restart,but
the problem is that when it reboots.It takes forever to restart.Or
sometimes not at all. Like if you go to windows update,download the
update.Then it requires you to restart the computer.But after shutting
down and restarting.It takes forever or not at all.No desktop or
anything.I have to manually restart the computer.
Is this in the settings in the bios?Tweak UI?
Thanks in advance.
