Hi

I run MS Anti spy and McAffee (auto updated)

My PC just rebooted of its own accord.

When it was back up again, nothing will load. I will click a program, I
get the egg timer, and then nothing.

Can anyone help?

I'm running XP home

With many thanks

Start you machine and hit the F8 key before windows begins to load,
choose " last known good configuration" from the boot menu, see if
that helps. If not reboot again, this time choose "safe mode" and see
if you can do a system restore.

Just in case anyone has this prob. I left the PC for 20 mins and when I
came back things had loaded after all.

It turns out that what was slowing things down was the schedule progs
from the likes of QuickTime or RealPlayer, or Java Update Schedulers
that had started to take so long to boot up my PC.

I got rid of those and all's been well again.
