Hi,
Fairly new install on XP home on P4 1.5 gig 512ddr.
just installed spybot and adaware, spybot found some stuff (only the usual cookies etc so did adaware), rebooted machine now xp gets as far as about 7 passes of the blue progress bar then locks up and gets no further. It used to get to the desktop after aboyt 3 passes of the progress bar now it locks up and doesnt load at all.
tried a restore to before this happened, restore appeared successful but still the same reult. Boots fine in safe mode so I know its a software issue.
Is there a log or something I can check to tell me why its dying? I dont understand why reverting it to a previous time doesnt work either as it boots in safe mode.
Not sure what else I can do?
any help would be appreciated.
