dude, open ms config and take a screen shot.... also tell me your sound card, video card, and any programs you don't use atleast 2-3 times a day...

i'll show you exactly what to check off.... btw, with msconfig you have nothing to be scared of.... you're not deleting anything, you're just disabling it... which is why i use msconfig, if i later found otu i shouldn't have take that out, i just open up the prompt again and re-add it.
