My bet would be you've got spyware.   Go to www.microsoft.com and download windows DEFENDER beta 2, and then scan, then go to www.spysubtract.com and download the free trial of SPYSUBTRACT PRO 3, and run that one too. Don't worry you can load as many spyware programs as you wish. but only one virus program, my suggestion is McAfee security suite 8. those three work wonders...

I had this and I think I went into Windows, then System 32, and selected Taskmgr and clicked on Run and that brought it back. Hope this helped.

If the computer isn't old, there's usually an ability to fix your computer before the login/desktop sequence. Look on the screen for prompts that tell you to hit F8 or F4 and the like.

You may be wanting to boot into safe mode. That would be F8- or if you want the start up menu options, press F5. Either one must be pressed just seconds (3-5) after the first splash screen appears. CTRL/ALT/DEL IS the standard keyboard combination to reboot. You may just need to turn off the power , then after about 20 secs. turn on again. Use the safe mode F8 as mentioned above. This will allow Windows to boot w/o other software interfering, so you can determine if "other" software has been causing a problem.Perhaps a bad driver (video)?

You can do a couple of things.  1) go to the Start menu and select Run...  Type in msconfig and hit return.  Uncheck programs that you don't want to load at start up.  Then save and close everything and reboot.  This eliminate the programs that is loaded automatically at start up.  2) Download a program call Tune-Up Utilities (search with Google) and run it.  It will scan and fix your computer.  The trial version will work for 30 days but is full functional. \nHowever, you really need more RAM and hard drive space.  I recommend to have at least 512 MB if you are running XP.

Even if you click exit on them, they will return because most of them are automatically starting up. If you need the program running, most will have a "hide taskbar icon" somewhere in the preferences. Also, look for something like "automatically  startup with windows".\n\nYou can download a free utility called Winpatrol at http://www.winpatrol.com where you can disable various startups from hidden places on your computer.

You can disable some of the programs that start up when your computer boots up.  Most programs with the exception of your antivirus and firewall are not needed to run at startup.\n\ngoto start run type msconfig in run prompt click startup tab and uncheck everything that doesn't point to your antivirus or firewall.  If something that you want doesn't work just go back in and recheck it.

1.) did you reboot the computer?\n2.) uninstall and install the Software?\n3.) stop stuff that is comming up on start up that you do not need!\n4.) it may just be time for you to reload everthing.

If Windows XP suddenly starts without warning, or restarts when you try to shut it down, it may be because your operating system is set to automatically restart when certain system errors occur. This feature of the Windows XP operating system can be disabled. Use the information below to disable the Automatically Restart option. \n\nResolve this issue by turning of the Automatically Restart option: \n\n1. Click Start, right-click My Computer and click Properties. \n2. Click the Advanced tab and select Settings in the Startup & Recovery section. \n3. Remove the check mark next to Automatically Restart under System Failure. \n4. Click OK to close the Startup and Recovery window and click OK to close the System Properties window. \n5. Restart the PC.\n\nThe PC will no longer restart automatically when a problem occurs. Instead a blue screen appears with more useful information. You can now search for a resolution using the text from the error.\n\nAfter you perform the above steps, check if the issue persists in "safe mode with Networking", scan for virus, get the BIOS update from the manufacturer.

some times it is caused by conflicting programs, go to your startup registry and see what you have on start up, try shuting them off one at a time to see if that helps, make a registry backup first!

use safe boot (f4) when booting up the disable all the programs the start up, then one by one turn them on you should find the program thats giving you grief.

Start->Run->type MSconfig\n\nThen go to the startup tab. \nIt should be under there as whatever the process name is. Just uncheck it. Hit apply then when you computer restarts a window pops up telling you that things have been changed. This will pop up everytime so hit that do not show again message. Everything is still ok.\n\nOr go under start menu->all programs->start up\nAnd delete the short cut out of there if there is one. If not do the other thing i said.

Try Start/Run msconfig\nClick on the startup tab, and uncheck the items you do not want to Run at Startup.   BE CAREFUL.   You need some of those!   Only uncheck items you KNOW you can do without!

Make sure there are no floppies or cds in the computer when it is booting up.  Otherwise your hard drive may be in trouble.

After you unchecked the programmes in the startup configuration utilty & rebooted, the window you saw appear stating that you have changed the start up configuration is normal.\nYou should have put a tick/check in a small box in that window which you pressed OK to, to confirm that you do not want to see that window again. Regardless of this the programmes you unticked will not start up again (unless you re-enable them by putting back the check in the future).
