hey, i was wondering if any1 could help me.... when ever i load the comp, it loads to the desktop where it seems fine...then when ever i press a programme i.e. my computer or IE7 ect, the computer just freezes.... the clock stops working...and although you can carry on pressing the icons on the desktop, NOTHIN will load until 4 minutes.....after the 4 minutes the clock goes back to normall and starts working and you can just carry on using the comp as normall...

This problem started about 3 days ago when i was tryin to upgrade to windows xp SP3, where the comp crashed....SINCE then i have been having MANY problems....

I can not do any system restore as there seems to be no preevious dates which i FIND it odd...

so pls any suggestions...thanksSP3 erases all restore points, so this is what might have happened, even if installation was unsuccessful.
