When I'm booting in XP Sp2 I get a yellow screen just before the Desktop
loads. No great problem but it seems to be staying there for longer and
longer. Are there some temporary Windows files that need deleting?

John.

Sorry, my mistake. I'm already on SP3,

John.

SP3 would have nothing to do with that symptom. Don't know what it is,
though several things come to mind along the lines of the video drivers.

I loaded IE8 and that solved it. Strange.

I first loaded IE8 some time ago, had all sorts of problems with it and had
to put 7 back.. It seems they've been cured.

John.
