Re: New year problem: Problem with grub

i was using the whole thing without a problem. Till today morn. when i
used to click firestarter, i used to get a password prompt screen
where i had to type my password and it would open up. Now when I click
firestarter, the password prompt screen comes but after that the
firestarter comes up after a long time, say 4 or 5 minutes.

I dont know if they are unrelated, but this is all what i did before
my comp became like this.
