Windows startup hanging 20% of time - on loading secdrv.sys?
As per the thread title I am experiencing regular issues on startup of windows 7. About 20% of the time startup will 'hang' just after my 'desktop' appears, but just before the little speaker icon and network icons appear in the bottom right hand corner.
I have tried using selective startup to reduce possibly conflicting software and have turned on the bootlog function.
The selective startup changes have had no impact, and the boot up log suggests that my system hangs when trying to load secdrv.sys - that is to say that on the occasions that it boots up ok secdrv.sys is the next driver to appear in the bootup list.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
