I'll rename or remove the startup folder temporarily this time then.
I removed one stick of ram at a time and inserted one stick at a time rebooting between each - still crashes.

You can also get to a boot menu and try the "Last Known Good" configuration. And yeah since safe mode works fine it's probably somethin screwy with a driver...
yes..you are wrong :)Quote:

J/K if it's disabled via MSCONFIG it won't start...UNLESS...somethings making a call straight from the registry.
I disabled all startup and all services and renamed startup folder to xstartup - crash. :(
*edit-
last known good = crash.
Have you run sfc /scannow yet,like i suggested earlier ?
not yet reverend. I've got some things i'm working on right now.
damn...and I know you don't use it but now would be a good time for system restore...
You might wanna installed the stable windows millenium for those projects that need to be completed reliably...Quote:

hehe
j/k
i still think its a driver issue and before you try system restore or even last known config that worked you will need to move any downloaded programs to 'My documents" folder so you don't loose all the .exe's
If it's a driver issue, is scannow useless? How do I find out which driver is causing the problem.
How far back do I go with sys restore? Also, I do have that Drive Image sitting in Drive D partition.
With a system restore I would just go back the least amount possible to a point just before it began. You can always choose to go further if needed and you can undo the restores.
That's the problem. I have no idea when it began. I have been running this pc 24/7. I would rather find the driver/whatever that is causing the problem.
Another interesting thing is: any of you remember that my using "use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop would not work? Well, it still does not but the other user account works.
Ok Reverend, after installing these files (most up to date mac transformation system files): http://aquaxp.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2897&hl= - I ran SFC /Scannow and it is not asking for CD at all. In fact I can even tell if it's running. Is that normal? Will scannow show up in taskmanager?

install the video as a standard video card using microsofts drivers ansd start there bud
