you using an admin account?

edit: method three is what we are doing: http://www.sevenforu...ams-change.html


i eventually found the startup tab :) You did not tell me to run msconfig, just saying. Will disabling all microsoft services cause any harm to my computer?

Oh and hide all microsoft services isnt on the startup tab its on the services tab under msconfig? I will try this soon as somebody gives green light :)

i just realized i wrote services.msc, not msconfig. sorry about that.

stopping all services wont hurt anything as you can just reenable everything when we are done.

So in order, i click hide all microsoft services, then go to startup tab and uncheck those? Then click ok?
The only items in my startup are HD audio control panel, google toolbar notifier, Norton online backup, and windows live messenger (already had that unchecked from the start)

I am now replying with all startup services disabled. Checking the hide all microsoft services box didn't do anything really? I did not click on the actual disable button as i was unsure. Needless to say i am still getting 'looking up...'

boot to safe mode with networking and try again. to do this, restart the machine and before you see the starting windows screen press F8 a few times...a menu will pop up. select it from there.
