try booting into safe mode and enabling the things on startup that you disabled. i dont remember if you can do msconfig from safe mode but you could try it. <p>Ladin<br><a href=mailto:matchu_14@hotmail.com>matchu_14@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Tech support for 1 1/2 years, build computers, messed with C, HTML, Working on Flash, Role-Playing Game Junkie (Diablo2)
 
If safemode doesn't work, hit F8 on startup, choose Command Prompt only, type edit c:\windows\system.ini. change<br>[boot] <br>shell=;Explorer.exe<br>shell=progman.exe<br>Go to Run, type winfile and use Filemanager to navigate around. <br><br>Type msconfig in the run box in Program Manger. Enable the items again.<br><br>Go back to Run, typed sysedit, change the shell back to Explorer.exe and reboot.<br><br>reghakr<br>
