Am running vista home premium 64 bit - I had a "frozen/please wait problem" - it got resolved in a painful fashion.
But now Normal mode isnt' running completely:
Windows Mail client not working
Network Sharing Centre not working - but IE ok & I can get to the internet
***MSConfig in normal mode freezes everything up
In Safe Mode w/ networking - MSConfig is fine & I see normal startup enabled along with all services & start-up options checked. Windows Mail is ok as is the networking centre.
What I've already tried with no problems detected:
2 malware/spyware/fix-it programs (Malwarebytes & Advanced System Care), sfc /scannow, chkdsk /f /r, start up repair tools - all under safe mode
(The msconfig application shows up in a safe mode search as only 284 KB but in 2 spots with same date/size - one in c:\windows\system & another in c:\windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft _windows ...)
**Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix? I don't want to nuke my machine back to kingdom come as it seems like a sml but critical problem - thx all
