Now every morning I have to go through startup repair and then it restores to the last time it started. I tried rolling back my graphic driver and although the computer seems to run better, I am still having problems with startup. I tried another rootkit scan with Avast, but it crashed. Maybe I should write them a letter. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Nothing is going to help until you replace the hard drive.

If you insist on trying to keep this one going, run an offline scanner - What is Windows Defender Offline?

So, you feel that it is definately my harddrive.

Thanks, thats what i needed to know.

Thanks for all the help!!!

I just wanted to let you know. I think I have solved my problem. It turns out that an update on my virus progam was probably causing all this havoc. I had to uninstall it and reinstall a new version. I'll have to keep and eye on everything for awhile, but it seems like my startup problems are gone. That's a good start(no pun intended).

Thanks for all the help from everyone.
