Help, please - new XP problem.

[Uncle Vinnie]

Hi.. using XP Home/ SP 2.


(Ben/ Gonzo: Different PC than the previous post, btw...!)

I have been trying unsuccessfully to find what is loading up during XP
Startup that is blocking any access to my pc.

A tech guy continually pinged from a remote computer on the Home Network -
mine was seen, and replying, just
about until the XP sign on screen.. then it stopped replying..

All the obvious is set - networking, filesharing, firewall, etc...

It has an IP address, etc, which is good...

I am going mad trying to find what may be
loading - services, bootup, etc, that kicks in...

Where/what else should I be looking for??

Thank you!!!

The firewall that loaded would probably be blocking the Pings. As for
denying access, did you try Safe Mode? If not reboot and press F8 over
and over again until you get a menu and select SafeMode.
