What's the difference between.......

[breham]

.....booting a machine and start/shut down/restarting a machine?

I've got a machine which is a pig to boot up. It sometimes get's to the Manufacturers logo, sometimes to the windows 98 splash screen and then hangs (sometimes it doesn't even get that far).

Yet when it has loaded and I choose start/shutdown/restart it has no problem at all.

Are there any differences in the two methods that would point to the cause of the problem.

Many thanks
Brett
