But this time the windows did not start up at all. what it does is, that I log in to one of the user's account and that's it. the account is not loading completely, it just freezes, doesn't let me do anything. the icons in the taskbar (bottom right corner of the screen, right next to time) do not even show up, and it just freezes.
When I open the task manager it shows only one application, which is called "Maximizer startup" and its status is "not responding"...
what is going on? help...  |
Sometimes antivirus software is installed to scan you hard drive etc at startup. Often, this causes a machine to lock up. When you installed the A/V software, I may have installed itself (or asked you and you said yes) to scan at boot time.
I don't recommend this, as I have seen many Windows boxes lock up when they have viral problems and the machine boots with A/V software.
