| 1209191 | 2011-06-14 05:38:00 | OK, so i ran "Autoruns for Windows" from the microsoft site, so i could stop a few things from booting up (a few ATI entries for my old video card which refused to go away). I restarted my pc, and it now gets to the welcome screen, it stays there for a minute, then my screen is black with a cursor, and then finally after a while my desktop loads. Also my internet connection has stopped connecting, and Cometbird will not open. I have re-ticked the sutff i unticked, and restarted, but to no luck. Now Cometbird and the internet driver will most likely just need reinstalling, but how can i fix this issue and get my pc starting up extremely quickly like it used to just 20 minutes ago? |

| 1209193 | 2011-06-14 05:48:00 | Im restoring to yesterday. fingers crossed | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1209194 | 2011-06-14 05:52:00 | What else is in startup. Use ccleaner then go to tools / startup. Click on save to text file bottom right. Copy and paste the text in that to here somehow. Same for whats installed. Tools / uninstall |

| 1209195 | 2011-06-14 05:55:00 | I just did system restore (luckily it was turned on!) back to yesterday. When it restarted it had a boot error, and insert system disc. powering off the pc, turning it on and checking in the bios fixed this. I started it up, and system restore has successfully fixed my pc. Cometbird is working, so is my internet. I now have faith in system restore, i never thought it could fix issues like this. I must do a backup of my stuff though, as the most recent backup is from april. EDIT: the Damn ATI thing has shown up again in task manager. how do i get rid of it? as msconfig doesnt remove it. If it helps i will figure out the name of it, as its conflicting with my new card. |

| 1209197 | 2011-06-14 06:02:00 | Delete the entry in startup with ccleaner If your new videocard isnt ATI (its Nvidia) uninstall the ATI drivers | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1209198 | 2011-06-14 06:05:00 | The ATI Drivers are uninstalled, it's just this one file called "Ati2evxx.exe" which won't go away. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1209199 | 2011-06-14 06:12:00 | Delete its entry with ccleaner then. You did uninstall it right. You didnt delete its folder without uninstalling it first? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1209200 | 2011-06-14 06:52:00 | Yes i did uninstall it, but for some reason, that one file still seems to be there and starting up. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
