Windows XP freezes after loading screen!

I'm at my wit's end this time around!

I can boot my computer up in safe mode no problem, but when I try to boot up windows normally, it goes to the windows loading screen, then, when it's about to load up the desktop, it stops at a blak screen. The hard drive stops clicking, and nothing happens.

I've tried uninstalling the videocard drivers in safe mode, but that hasn't helped.

I don't know if this is a direct consequence, but just before this symptom, I ran the lm2fix.exe to remove some adware.

I don't see another post from you in malware, so you ran lm2fix.exe without being directed to?

One of my friends who had the same adware problem ended up running it. whistling.gif

well rather than me messing around with a tool that I am unfamiliar with, I will bring this to a malware experts attention ....
