Is that when the problem started with the Internal card reader?

no, the problem started just a couple days ago after I got a new phone and installed the software, the reader worked a couple times and then it started freezing up

Which assigned letter in MyComputer is for your phone?

Also, if you insert a flash card in the Internal Reader and then go to MyComputer and RIGHT CLICK On the drive and select Explore, does it still lock up?

my phone doesn't have a specific letter, I use the SD card to transfer files and stuff, so that would be H. I can't even right click without it locking up.

just for troubleshooting purposes, you may want to uninstall the software for the Phone
Reboot the computer and see if the Internal Reader works

If you go to Device Manager, do you see any problems?
Any yellow exclamation marks

Right click MyComputer>>Select PROPERTIES>>HARDWARE>>DEVICE MANAGER

Just for an update
Besides the Internal card reader, how is everything else running?

What is the exact make/model of computer?

Can you do a clean boot of the computer

Here's the instructions:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353
Follow
Method 2: Manually starting XP with a clean boot (advanced user only)

Do steps 1,2 and 3

Let me know if startup if faster

Also, try the Internal reader

Edit>>Also, disconnect any USB devices you don't need running on startup

Did the Internal card reader plug right onto the USB ports of the Motherboard
Did you have to install any special software with it?

I'm not sure what's going on
You may have to try removing Usb controller devices and let them reinstall

First: Can I double check something
Right click on MyComputer>>Left click Properties
Select the Advanced tab>>Settings under Startup and Recovery
Click EDIT beside  "To edit startup file manually, select edit"

Do Not change anything in the file that opens
Give me the name of the text file, is it boot. ini? >>exact name please, I purposely put a space after boot. and before ini so I don't receive an error posting this message

Can you also copy/paste back here the whole contents of that text file
Remember, don't change anything in there

Ok, try the following
Since it doesn't appear that it's any startup entries slowing your start time
Go back to Start>>Run>>msconfig

Hit ok
Under the General tab ensure Normal startup is selected
Apply and close, reboot the computer

back in Windows
Go into Windows Device manager....Ensure your computer name is highlighted at the top
Click on ACTION>>Scan for Hardware Changes
When done
Shut down
Start back up, any luck with the Internal card reader?

Since your use to getting into the inside of the computer
Can you shut down and remove the USB connection from the Internal card reader to motherboard
Leave it removed
Disconnect any other peripheals you have hooked to the computer also that you don't need to run the computer properly, such as your external card reader
Start back up, is it a quicker startup?

Don't reconnect the ICR yet
