Ok I have a strange problem.
When I log into windows (as admin) upon first booting up the comp just sits there, showing nothing but the desktop. And stays that way no matter how long I wait. So I then have to log off and log back on. when I log off it says explorer.exe is not respeonding. so I end task, and log back on and everything comes up immediately. Anyone know what is causing this?
-Things Ive tried
1. running /sfc in windows
2. taking extyra junk out of startup and the run parts of the reg
3. uninstalling extra software
4. running spybot and adware
5. doing virus scan using norton
6. running nortons registry cleaner (had no effect)
7. trying to do windows updates but doesnt respond, when I close ie I get an instruction error at some memory block, error reading memory. Next going to try using sp3 network install I downloaded already.
8. the network and internet on this comp seem to be extremely slow too.
9. Ive also tried manually replacing various files like winlogon.exe, which consumes about 40% CPU on the first login. and various others but with no success.
its currently got norton system works, bnorton personall firewall, norton system doctor, adaware 6 , spybot 3.1 (or whatever newest vers is), office 2k SB, seems to have quicken as well but isn't used. aand various other media players and misc stuff. My question is... What the hell?
