Hello Svandisel,

It's not easy to answer without details and complete error messages. It's
akin to me asking you the following "My car is making a noise, what's wrong
with it?"

It helps those answering your questions if you provide:

What changed in your system shortly before the problem occurred? Knowing
about a setting change or added software or hardware may be helpful in
solving the problem.

What you have done in order to try and fix it...

What do you see in the System Event Logs

Do you have Windows Live OneCare installed?

Have you tried doing a System Restore to a point in time before you started
experiencing this problem ?


Have you scanned your system for malware (spyware, adware, trojans, and
other pests) using other tools, like
Ad-Aware 2007 Free <http://www.lavasoft.de/ms/ad_aware_free.php>,
Spybot S&D Free <http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html>,
a-Squared Free (formerly a² free) (online)
<http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/ax/>,
ewido (online) <http://www.ewido.net/en/>,
Pest Patrol (online)
<http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/pestscan/default.aspx>

Please help us to help you.

I'm sure you'll get more detailed help from the guys who know a lot more
than me, but I hope this is enough to get you on the right road for now.

Thank you
