The past few days, I've been experiencing a startup problem in WinXP Home Ed.... the system locks-up after loading the desktop (and while loading the progs into the taskbar). At this point, I just have the hour-glass and no input capability whatsoever.
The only changes to my system around the time of the problem was that I downloaded several Critical WinXP updates that were posted 3/6 and 3/7 plus downloading .NET Framework v1.1 (which I need for PQ Drive Image 7.01).
One more thing... I see a suspicious item in the Services List called 'GEARSecurity' (set to automatic). I don't recall ever seeing that before... anyone know what it's for and if it could be related to my problem?
I'm stumped so any help would really be appreciated.
