363592	2005-06-13 12:35:00	Hey, Right I got a problem on my PC, and i dont know when or where it came from, but it seems to be a simple configuration error . I need help . Problem: - Slow startup "Welcome" Screen, then just the wallpaper, nothing else . - Explorer . exe hangs on startup, I have to start it again manually via Task manager . - Everything works fine, until i shut down . Explorer . exe won't end properly . - Problem does not exist in Safe Mode Solutions Tried: -Replacing the explorer . exe file . Nothing changed . -Spybot, Adaware and Ewido ran . Nothing detected, and all are updated . -Disabled startup programs via msconfig . Nothing changed . -System Restore . Problem still existed with earliest restore point . -Deleted recent programs (including firewall) . -Put Explorer shortcut in startup folder, only to realize i needed explorer running for it to work lol . Any help or ideas appreciated .

363594	2005-06-13 13:17:00	Unfortunatly, I no don't have any recovery or XP disks :(	Scotty (8348)
363595	2005-06-13 23:14:00	That HJT log looks clean to me . Altho, I would update the Sun Java . Its upto 1 . 5 version 3 now .	Speedy Gonzales (78)
363596	2005-06-13 23:41:00	If you are luckie the windows files should be on the HD. You could try start - Run - "sfc /scannow", this will check all the system files and fix any bad ones. It normally asks for you windows disc, but your computer may have a copy on your HD.	Rob99 (151)
363597	2005-06-14 00:20:00	start in safe mode and take a note of the apps runnin under 'processes' tab on taskmanager........then restart normaly and take note of apps running.....and see if you can see what is using up the cpu ......also startbutton/msconfig/startuptab and Untick any unnecessary apps including msoffice stuff....	drcspy (146)
