1) I tried to post to copy what I'd tried, had problems, browser hung up,
tried to copy findings to an existing notepad file, it hung up, tried to Save as
the text I had open, it hung up, tried to open Wordpad to save it there, it did
not ever open, the Start menu hung up, no browser would open, OE wouldn't open,
everything hung up, and ctrl+alt+del did not work. So I'm at my desktop, and of
course, paste won't help here. The desktop was getting a Windows Update, so I had
to wait for a Restart for that. I am not going to complain about that - it works!

2) I had 5 users display, I can't remember them all but 3 had red Xes. When I clicked
a user and hit Enter, I got an error message for each and every one.

3) I looked at system events, I forget the scenario, but problematic filenames for
this date appeared to be something like crypt32 and fdisk to the best of my memory.

4) For the laptop, I guess I will press the power off button to shut it down. Then
start it up again. It works for simple things most of the time.

Hi Jan1

1) That's not a good sign.

2) That's not normal either, but the 3 red X's can be.

3) Without more details, it's hard to say what that means, etc.

4) That may be, however, it appears that 'something' has got its hooks into the OS pretty deep and trying to 'catch it' may be a real problem for any forum. Doing 'hands on' troubleshooting a computer for anybody trying to resolve a complex issue is completely different than exchanging posts on a forum regardless of who is doing it.

5) I would still like to see how another account acts, etc., so are you willing to add / create a new user? It should be able to be deleted later.

As I mentioned in another posting, when another account loads, it'll load another registry that has many different configurations than the other accounts. Probably 2/3 of that registry is unique to that user alone and the rest is for global configurations for any user, etc.
