can you click on the startup tab and then list what is in there.uninstall avg and try another av company.i do not like nor trust avg (but that is my opinion).try nod32 you can get a 30 day trial from http://www.eset.co.uk. or download avast or clamwin just google for them. downlaod ewido and update and run a scan with that too. are oyu using the latest itunes version.i believe there are numerous peop;e having the same issue as you.i will search and see if there is a fix...try the above to make sure though kind regards danzil

boot from the cd,and do a repair install on the c: partition.... make sure you dont have a floppy disk in the drive when your pc is booting.... a repair install or a format and install of c: is probably going to be the quickest fix.

try manually downloading it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=a8f5654f-088e-40b2-bbdb-a83353618b38&displaylang=en then installing it,if that doesnt work then stop the windows update services. (right click my computer>manage>services) then rename the "software distribution folder this is found in c:\windows\software distribution.rename it to softwaredistributionold or similar. then restart the windows update service.reboot your pc and then re update your machine give those a try

i would recommend using some.partition resizing software.like paragon partition magic. or clone your hard drive to another with the correct partition sizes,then clone it back to your hard drive...does a friend have a spare hard drive,or can you purchase one. if so i recommend a piece of software called caper xp.it will clone your hard drive within xp,and allow you to resize partitions,and saves all your data,os,documents,setting you get the idea,a complete mirror. i wouldnt mess about with in windows because you may leave your hard drive unbootable. alternativly point your itunes to your d: drive.that way your music store will be on there. if that is more better for you let me know.and i will get you the instructions...it has een ages since i used itunes,i didnt like it and found it pointless.there is better software out there. let me know if i can help more. regards danzil

it is never a really good idea to havbe 2 anti viruses running at the same time.to remove norton use the symantec removal tool download it from http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039. regarding itunes,try to delete the apple folder in application data.to do this go to c:\ then click on tools>folder options then tick "show hideenfiles.folders.click ok now browse to c:\documents and settings\"your username"\application data\apple(maybe apple computer\then delete itunes. then restart your pc and try to see if it will load.also do you have the latest version of quick time installed. just so we know there isnt anything lurking in there causing this can you do the following go to start>run>enter "msconfig"without quotes,t hen go to the startub tab, list what is in there and let us know, also click on the services tab, tick hide all microsoft services,then also list what is in there. i know it may be a pain in the rear,writing all the entries down,but this will help us know if you have something starting up when you turn your machine on,that may be causing this. post back,and i will see if i can help you further. regards danzil

great news well done... thanks for replying

i internet explorer have you tried re-install default settings. in ie it is in tools>internet options>reset...in ie7 the same but also reset advanced settings. that may help. what version of internet explorer are you using,,have doen scans for viruses,spyware etc. if the issue was in ie then you installed mozilla,you may have imported the error as well. what is the site you are trying to access. some mor einfo would be good regards danzil

can you describe what the pop up looks like,also exactly what it says.and where the icon is. look in add and remove programmes and see if you havnt installed naything you dont know about. download ewido from http://www.ewido.net/en/download/ update it and then run a complete scan.remove what ever it finds......there is a recommended action when the scan os completed,choose delete. give that a whirl

i take it, it is a socket 478...these are becoming increasing hard to come by now....you could try http://www.nextag.co.uk.

is it anywhere in C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Start Menu\Programs and start>accessories>programme files>system tools..... download spyware sweeper ltest version and run that. also download firefox that will getting you going for a while...whilst we think of more ideas....similar to IE 7 give them a bash first regards danzil

may be worth getting another hard drive then using that as nmaster and your old as slave.then install xp on the new,then just copy your data back over... dont try that just yet though i have a couple of other ideas.but i need to go out,,,i will post back shortly.

do you have an xp cd, If so boot from it (make sure your bios is set to boot from cd). when prompted enter recovery console. when in there it will ask you to select which account to log on to. choose which one. it may ask for your password for the admin account,,this is usually blank. when in there type in withut the qoutes (d: being the drive the cd is in) "copy d:\i386\lsass.ex_ c:\windows\system32 if you are prompted to overwrite click yes.... try that. remember to put a space between lsass.ex_ and c:\windows i hope that works....... i know it has worked on numerous machine i have had to repair. regards danzil

each to there own really i like macs and pc's.... yep sounds like a device issue can you try another monitor.is this pc under warrenty...my be an idea to get hold of a old graphics card and check that.or borrow one from a friend if poss..... the reason why windows can still load a display withou radeon drivers,is because it has its own universal so to speak driver,a generic driver for most well every card i have tried... you can et a really nice card nowadays for £60 if you look in the right places. sorry just got re-read your post,,,it doesnt flash about in safe mode...well that really is pointing to a driver... try this go to start>run type in "cmd" without qoutes,click on the startup tab then untick all.then restart see if that stop the flicking.

try this go to start then run and copy this in "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %windir%\inf\ie.inf" without qoutes "".... now see if you have the icon in the internet explorer folder. if not try another search.. beware you maybe prompted for your cd........ give that a try..

can you gain access to task manager or the run command.if so type sfc /scannow,it may prompt you for the cd, do you have xp pro or home edition,,you may want to check to see if a group policy has been setup....items have came into my shop with similar issues to yours.

you need to be tapping f8 the minute the pc turns on if you do,and still get to the windows xp logo then the options will to show......how long has this issue been going on...you could always try system restore whne you are logged into one of the other accounts,that you stated worked. regards danzil

as for the sound,can you here anything at all.check in device manager and make sure the driver is still install also check to make sure your display adapter driver is installed also.. you will know if you have drivers missing because there will be a yellow ! exclamation mark next to them.... if there is just re-install them. unfortunatly windows 2000 doesnt have system restore.do you using nt backup or have any other backups.do you have your driver cd's

if you log in as one of your family then create a new account that has admin rights all should be well.give that a whirl

another thought have you tried booting into safe mode...f8 at startup to see if it does it in there.....if it doesnt then we are pointing closer to a driver issue.

it really is pointing to a driver issue or maybe a heat issue. what is the make of graphics card you have i will get you a link to the latest driver. to find out what card it is go to start>control panel>system>hardware>device manager. then the make of your card will be under "display adapters". maybe worth downloading a benchmarking programme like sisoft sandra or everest to see if you can find out the temperature of your card when the resolution is set high.. may also be worth reseating the graphics card,stranger things have happened this may rectify the issue... Try some of the suggestions then let us know and i will see where we can go from there.

well thats a strange one,,what i would do is add another user (this being your new account),then log in to it,make sure it is has admin rights.then go to my computer>c:>documents and settings. then go into your old account and copy everything from there to your new account.your programmes will all be ok.the only thing you may have to reset up is your email...but i can guide you through restoring your old emails and calender etc. if you do this please make sure you unhide hidden files and folders,and operating system files, in folder options.tools>folder options. let me know if that helps.

is this pc using onboard graphics.or a dedicated graphics cards.have you ran all relevant virus scans and spyware scans to make sure you dont have any nasties. have you also tried updating the graphics card driver. if you have no anti virus you can download a trial of nod32 from http://www.eset.co.uk. and a good spyware.adware remover is ewido you can get that from http://www.ewido.com let me know so more ifo so we can help more

go to start>control panel>user accounts> click on your account and in there you should see if oyu have an admiin account or a limited account...that would be the first thing i would try. hope that helps
