why won't my computer boot up. It gets to the welcome screen and then locks up. At this point I have to turn it off and on again for it to work ok.

Something is causing the computer to freeze. Most likely it is a virus try purchasing a virus scanner and removing any viruses.

If it is not a virus some software is causing an issue at startup.
Go to -Start- then -Run- type "msconfig" click the -startup- tab and try to find what is causing the problem.

If that isn't it your operating system is corrupt try reinstalling the computer.
