windows vista Cannot get past the desktop in standard mode, various freezing (non-performance issues) scenarios. S

[News Bot]

Cannot get past the desktop any longer. Freezes up, clicking on dialog boxes does nothing most of the time. Clicking on some dialog boxes will close them but leaves the box empty and completely whited out. The icon over the task bar is different than that that is over the desktop. Everything works just fine in safe mode. I've worked on this for almost 3 weeks and have given in to asking for help. One of my diagnostic checks gives multiple(IRQ) did not set in time. (OFOO:0132 or OFOO:XXXX )

 

Running Vista Basic 32 bit. Have done a system restore (not a complete reboot) and it made it so that the cursor would move around on the desktop (but produced no results most of the time) as opposed to before when the cursor was just immediately frozen. Also received DST Short Test Failed and OFOO:065D. Disk-DST Self Test Read Error. Remember that in Safe Mode I can do everything just fine. It's the only way I can access the internet. If ANYONE can help me I will be forever indebted to your kindness.
