I followed a similar approach and got to the bottom of the defect. I investigated all program file entries on the system and came across an old Acroread.exe which I deleted. Not only did I get rid of the launching of Acrobat 2.1 for all pdf files, but also obtaining appropriate references in the...
On a pc running under XP Home SP2, Acrobat Reader 6 was installed and running occasionally whenever required. Recently, whenever I double-click on a pdf file, Acrobat 2.1 is launched and hangs.
I noticed that no PDF entry exists under Tools - Folder Options - File Types.
I got rid of all...
I am late in briefing you because of other separate problems with W2k and DVD burner. This is not the place, but don't buy a Lite-On 1633. It's junk. Go for a NEC 3500.

ASPIcheck gave the following results ...
In the bootlog, I spotted the following items :LoadFailed = ndis2sup.vxd and INITCOMPLETEFAILED = SDVXD, but apparently this is not necessarily erroneous.
I tried scanreg /restore, I installed a previous registry to no avail.
I uninstalled InCD and Nero.
I also ran dumpASPI followed by...
I've been using this Windows 98Se for years. Now, I hang just before the Windows UserId and password display request.
I can go into safe mode. I ran antivirus, spybot and ad-aware. I ran the registry checker from the Accessories Directory. I ran the Scandisk. I even unchecked all the startup...
