| Hello,
first I would try to start vista in Safe mode (hit f8 while booting) to see if it will load the way it should be there. If it does you might have installed a program or driver that is loaded when you login and gives Vista hickups. When in Safe Mode go to the Control Panel, then Windows Defender -- in Defender click on Tools, there you find Software Explorer, once it opened make sure it says "startup programs" in the field "Category". Most likely you can ignore all entries under Microsoft Coop. other then that carefully examine the listed items and disable them so they dont start up on boot.
Hope that will help. |
