You know when you're almost done writing a post and your browser somehow gets refreshed or goes back or something so everything you wrote gets erased? Yeah, I just had one of those. So I'll make this brief. In outline...
1 Did a clearRTC
2 Comp started acting wierd/slow/wouldn't get into windows
3 Flashed from BIOS 1004 to 1006, both final
4 more/worse problems: no network connection, no safe mode
5 deleted ntuser.dat file from "documents and settings\my user name" folder
6 flashed back to 1004
7 less, but similar problems: no network connection, startup progs (ie powerstrip, mcafee, etc) don't start to load until 5 min after it gets into windows, title bar for all windows is very small, etc
One thing I noticed was that if I hit ctr-alt-del as I get into windows (after user selection screen) and go to the users tab in the task manager, I don't see my user name for 5 min or so. as soon as I do, the startup prgrams begin to load and things kinda go back to normal, in terms of responsiveness, but until then, its very unresponsive. Even after, I still get no network (have tried run -> ipconfig /release (tells me it already is released) -> ipconfig /renew (error messeage is something about RPC not being active), no luck), no background, wierd title bar, etc.
