I have Boot Camp/Windows 7 on my iMac and it had been running fine. Recently I upgraded Snow Leopard from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 and now Windows will not start up at all - I get the page where you have the Mac and Windows icons, but when I click on Windows and then the arrow under it, it freezes and I have to shut the computer down and restart.

I'm assuming you didn't make a backup before upgrading Snow Leopard?

Upgrading from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 should not have changed anything to preclude Windows 7 from booting up. Try repairing Windows 7 using your original Windows 7 DVD. Follow these Microsoft instructions: LINK
