For some unknown reason i cannot run any programs during the boot of XP (sp2). Was trying to run a PageDefrag on boot up when i noticed. Even a simple thing CheckDisk will not run during boot Things that are scheduled to run when xp actually starts are ok. Its just the things that are set to run during boot dont work, i get the XP boot screen then just a black screen + have to manually reset the PC using "last known good config" to get it to boot again. Anyone had this prob before ??
What did you do when this thing started happening?? I mean did you install any kind of Software/driver/hardware??
Its been a while since i done a boot scan or check, so there a lots of installed apps since. Just done a repair with XP boot disk - still the same.
I'm Adaware free, as for virus.... the best way is to schedule a boot time scan, but i cant !?!? I have noticed a lot of HD activity when the screen goes blank, so my guess is that things are working but there is no display .
