Hi Colin - OK I am sitting here listening to music - quite loudly and with no
problems what so ever after I did the clean boot thing. Only trouble is I
have yet to determine which program is the cause. Half my issue is I am stuck
on Windows ME. I had my old computer for 6 years or so. Having lots of
trouble getting used to Vista. Where can I locate a list like I had for ME
that tells me what I have to have running. There is alot of stuff running
(Thanks to my 3 teenage sons) I do not know what is what.
Thanks for your help and time.
Kat

Windows Defender will show the list (type "defender" in Start/Search and
choose Software Explorer under Tools) and the programs you disabled are on
the Startup tab on the System Configuration Utility (msconfig). As the KB
describes, the idea is to enable programs one by one and reboot until the
problem returns. That will identify the culprit. At that point you can
look for updates for the culprit or leave it disabled (or uninstall it).

You are making me too smart for my own good here... I think the culprit is my
AV which is Defender Pro. I am still working on this as time allows - my
world is a crazy one.

You can always uninstall it and temporarily install AVG or Avast free
editions while you are troubleshooting.
