The only other thing I did at that time was uncheck a couple of things in my start up folder. One was google updates and the other was something to do with hewlet packard. I have an HP printer and monitor, so maybe I shouldn't have unchecked that one, I don't know. But the problem wasn't occurring when I first logged on, it only froze up after I'd been on the computer for a while so I'm assuming it wasn't what I unchecked in start up.
I wouldn't worry about unchecking HP updates. As long as your printer is working, you don't need HP updates. Much of what HP puts on your computer is bloat, so I always uncheck HP updates.

Following are the results, could yoy care to interpret them.

I just installed PSI 2.0 and started updating according to it's scan results, but I ran into two snags. Firstly, there were several .NET updates called for, but when I updated Imgburn, all of those .NET listing disappeared, and now show as being patched. I'm guessing that Imgburn must have done...
Have just read Brink's brilliant tutorial on finding stuff in event viewer and went looking for my last chkdsk.
Following the instructions I came up with an entry called Wininit it had the chkdsk results etc but as a matter of curiosity why the difference in the location name? as I have seen it...
Hey there guys, I'm new to this forum, hope I'm posting in the right place. Also hope you guys can help me out. Below are results of a read only Chkdsk I ran from a GUI program. It showed some results that I could not get from the standard chkdsk, my computer I believe has some corrupt registry...
