Re: Vista non-responsive at login

Hi Marcus,

Does it occur with all accounts or just a specific one? This factor would be
the first thing I'd consider as it helps indicate where the problem lies
(ie: user environment or system).

I'd start by running a hijackthis log and examining what's loading into
memory. You can find this tool at http://www.merijn.org/programs.php
