So nothing changed. ================ 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! |
