Hi
There is also the possibility that your bootup is causing the problem, and your only 
recourse is to reformat and reinstall.

I only mention this because I have only just overcome a similar problem myself.

Boot up was very hit and miss, and when it stalled with only half my desktop icons 
displayed I was required to create a dirty boot by hitting the reset switch, this ensured 
that chkdsk would fix the problem. But it didn't allways work.
So yesterday I steeled myself and reformatted and reinstalled.
Now everything is Jake.

Regards Dennis.

 who did his job well."
