Hey guys I think I finally figured out what the problem
was. After doign a selective start in msconfig, finally
narrowed it down to 6 non-microsoft services. 4 being
from Symantec's Norton Antivirus. Well when I turned
them back on and rebooted, It put me back into msconfig
screen again, and right away I saw "Symantec Event
Manager ... Start Pending" So I disabled that only,
and now it starts up right away!
However... with this disabled, norton antivirus now fails
to load up and auto-protect, or email scan, etc.
Anybody know how I can tweak this so that it will still
load "Symantec Event Manager" and not take 2-3 freakin
minutes each time to do it?
Also... on the plus side about reformating my comptuer to
fix this, I did have another problem plaguing my system,
(programs mysteriously 'poofing' while running and
vanishing with no errors) ...so I had to reformat anyhow,
didnt do it ONLY because of the problem with the symantec
event manager luckly.
