Last week when I came home from work, I noticed that my computer had crashed while I was gone. The desktop wallpaper was there but no icons, and I was unable to raise explorer or task manager.
I did a hard reboot but when Windows came up, everything was unresponsive or if responsive, it froze when I initiated any activity.
I suspected a rogue start-up program, but having several, it was hard to figure out.
So I booted into Safe Mode and used Msconfig to prevent everything from loading including CFP. I turned on Windows Firewall when Windows restarted successfully.
Everything was fine and functioned normally on boot.
Today I uninstalled CFP completely and then reinstalled it after a reboot. On boot-up, Window’s Start Menu was unresponsive and explorer crashed on start-up.
I then uninstalled CFP (again, in safe mode) and everything was fine on boot-up even with the other startup programs.
I’m running the following:
Windows XP SP3 32-bit
AMD 9950 proc with ASUS MB
4 GB RAM DDR2
Nvidia 9800 GT video
Startup programs:
Everything (search)
RocketDock
BOINC
Looks like I’m out of the game for Comodo until I reinstall Windows or get a new computer.
