2fingers Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Hi.My problem is that windows acts really weird at times. When i restart the computer, sometimes it slows down/refuses to start at the desktop. I do not get any error - what i do get is is i do see the desktop wallpaper, but the icons or the start bar hasnt shown yet. A ctrl + alt + del and a restarting produces a window stating that explorer.exe doesnt seem to be responding. Force ending it produces a restart and the computer restarts subsequently. The usual time where my computer starts up - around 45-1 min. With this problem, i get into windows, but have never seen the icons/start bar (even after 5 mins of waiting)My setupAMD xp 2400+199GHz1.00 GB of RamRadeon 9600 ProMicrosoft Windows XPHome editionSP 2Software in systemWindows Live messengerIE6Norton Systemworks 06I've got a hijack this log - i could post it if it would help.

Mordac85 Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Or a virus that's slammin' the system. Try booting up w/o the network connected, or in safe mode, and run an AV scan. You do have AV installed, don't you?
pmshah Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Try hitting alt tab to see if any message box is hidden under the wallpaper. Apartfrom this the first thing I would try would be to boot into safe mode & remove Norton system works.
