HI GUYSN / GALS- JUST JOINED

running windows XP SP2, the system has five accounts with my account being used to access the internet. When i log on into my account the system freezes. the only way i can access my account is to log into another account (also with admin. priv.), and then swith user. My account then runs fine.

have run anti- virus programs, malware programs, anti-spyware, have pc booster, defragged, have the shield anti-virus with zone alarm firewall.
the only thing I have changed is to get rid of KHOOKER.EXE - but research on the internet suggests that this program is not req. Have 512 internal mem with 80gbhard drive (50%free)

please help.

Hey Percy!

Have you tried logging into your account in the safe mode?
If yes, then what happens?

You can also run "msconfig" (Start->Run->msconfig->Enter)
and go to "Startup" tab. Look over the list of programs that are starting
with Windows - uncheck them all. Also go to "Services" tab and
check "Hide All Microsoft Services" option - see if any of those
services look suspiciously. You can try disabling them all
right away without thinking about what they do, because it is
no a problem to re-enable them later! Now just restart your
computer and try logging into your account - if it works fine
then one of the programs or one of the services causes the
problem.

Tell me if that brought any positive results!

DUDE,
safe mode kept on crashing !!!!, discovered that NOADWARE in my start up was cauisng the problem. CHEERS
