win 2k hangs on startup every other time

[kennedyb]

I just put together a new system:

athlon 64 3200
msi k8t neo
1 gb crucial ram
Chaintech fx 5700xt video
seagate 200 gb sata hdd
dvdrw

win 2k sp4, all updates installed.

The system is hanging after it gets to the windows desktop before the system tray or icons are loaded. I can log off and log back on and it refreshes the system. I have unchecked all startup items in msconfig. Very strange! Any ideas????

I think I had the blaster worm at one point before all my critical updates were loaded, as I had a nt authority shutdown error every time.


Not really sure where to start.

I'd run that in safe mode to make sure.

no change. I was unable to load it from safe mode, it would hang there too...

When I log off an log back on, when it is logging off it gives me an error that says windows was unable to load wsubb.exe

I looked in my startup when it started ok, the file is listed 3 times, it is a system file I think. It also goes by wubb explorer. Anyone heard of it?
