================

You need to remember that we can't see your machine. You never
confirmed that you had run Step 3, hence we must assume that you
did not run it.

Here is another step you can take while in msconfig:
- Click "Services"
- Tick "Hide All Microsoft Services"
- Untick all remaining services
- Reboot the machine

In your first post you wrote "when i press ctrl+alt+delete that
window comes up. Thats it though." What window comes up?
Again we cannot see your screen, hence we don't know what
happens when you press Ctrl+Alt+Del. Report exactly what
you see!
