I am working on an XP system which works fine, but stalls for about one minute just before loading the Desktop (no error message). I need a good procedure (or program) for locating the source of this problem. I can't use System Restore because there are no restore points earlier than this problem - I had just reinstalled Windows (Repair install) to get XP to boot (wouldn't even start). XP Home SP1 Disabled all Startup items Deleted Temp and Temp Internet files Ran CheckDisk, CWShredder, Ad-aware, Search & Destroy, Updated antivirus, very effective registry cleaner, SFC No help so far Bil Green PC 1000 Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 760-924-1000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
