I have a winxp os service pack2. I happen to be the administrator too.
But whenever I log-on to my normal profile the desktop hangs. I cannot
invoke the task manager too. All I can do is restart the os, and if at
all I want to use it I have to get into safe mode with networking. My
figure is that one of the services is causing the problem. How will I
know which one is causing the problem?

Disable them all using msconfig, then start one at a time to see when it
hangs.
