Dell Inspiron 600m won't boot when docked - hangs on Dell bios screen

Dell Inspiron 600m laptop boots to Window XP just fine when undocked.  When docked it hangs on the Dell bios screen with about 1/4 of the bar loaded.  It has done this before and sometimes undocking and rebooting will help.  This time it didn't help.

I would first try removing the docking profile (under Hardware profiles). Make sure you do this while it is undocked. Then, turn the laptop off, dock it, and boot it back up and see what happens.

Here is some information on profiles.
