Re: Windows not loading

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

On most "Performance" related issues the first thing to do is
a Safe Mode boot. If the PC reacts normally, then for the
most part you can assume hardware is OK. From what you
describe it certainly sounds like VTSM (Viruses, Trojans,
Spyware and Malware.

AntiVirus protection is no longer adequate for being online.
Most Malware tools are detection/removal based. Along with
AdAware,Spybot, CW Shredder and HiJackThis - you need
a Real-Time protection agent. While a Beta, I would install &
use MS AntiSpyware (Defender).

If you aren't using the full complement of these tools you should
begin immediately. SP2 is the first line of defense as it tightens
up the basic level of Security with XP.
