Hi Guys,
Whenever I start the computer up, it gets to the "welcome" screen with the swirly icon, and then just stays there forever ctrl + alt + del doesnt even work. Im on Vista 64bit Things I've tried: - msconfig- disabled all non-microsoft services - msconfig- unchecked all startup entries - msconfig- boot- advanced options- set number of cpu's to4 (was 1) and checked maximum memory and set it to 8mb (was unchecked) -Windows Updates- completely updated -uninstalled avg none of those things have worked so far Any ideas?

As it's OK in Safe Mode it sounds like either a bit of hardware is not initialising or a driver is hanging. Have a look at the boot log and look for multiple (failed) attempts to initialise or load a driver. G
