windows failing to load fully

[ophir]

hello all

i've just got a new computer, P4D 3.0G, 1GB Ram, windows XP pro.
problam is, that after installing some stuff ( office, skype, msn messenger, games ... ) for some reason , when i shut down the computer and then turn it back on, it reaches the "black" window loading screen (where u see the blue bar running), and after that, it just goes blank ( not reaching the blue "loading your personal settings..." screen ). only after i press the reset button, and load in safe mode, and shut down ( with the button of the case ) from safe mode, i turn the computer back on again and it loads ok.
i tried "registry mechanic" that showed me it fixed all the problems it found and no go ! i have to do that routine everytime to load up my windows.

can someone please help me ?

thanks in advance.

Sounds like you got hit with a virus/trojan. We demanded that all users remove SkyPE at work because of problems.

I would format the drive and use the recovery disks to reload the OS then limit the amount of junk you install after.

you probably got hit with spyware. what antispyware are you running?

Antivirus/Antispy (http://www.sysopt.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=161595)

hi midknyte, actually i dont have any antispyware installled that i'm aware of, only the windows firewall,and Kasparsky as an antivirus ( which didnt come up with anything during scan ).
what antispy do you recommend ?

did you go to the link i posted? there is a little * by the recommended products.

counterspy or spysweeper if you're willing to spend a few bucks. windows defender beta if you want a freebie.
