Found a cool thing you can do when working out an issue with MS support. Run up msconfig and click on the Services tab. Check the box to hide all of the Microsoft services. That will show you all of the NON microsoft services. Uncheck all of those and reboot to troubleshoot which ones are the problem. Do the same for all the startup items. Start them 1 or 2 at a time and keep rebooting till you see the problem. Jim Kenzig On 4/25/07, Sorin Srbu <sorin.srbu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
