Ran Tweaking, now can reboot only in safe mode

<< < (2/3) > >>

davidy:
I'm new at this.  Is it trial and error until I find the culprit?

Also, are there services and startup items that are essential?

Shane:
It is a process of elimination, a pain yes, but the only way to find out what program is doing it.

So you do it by enabling a few things at a time and reboot each time, if the problem comes back then you know it was one of items you enabled last.

A lot of people will have a bunch of crap set for startup that they dont need to have running all the time. The msconfig tool give you control over that.

The programs are not uninstalled or removed, just simply removed from running at startup. So only enable what you would like running at startup, anything else you can always go run yourself.

So first thing I would do is enable back anything that has to do with your antivirus and then reboot and go from there :-)

I'll play at this over the next day or so and get back to you.  Thanks again for your help. 

Shane:
Happy to help :-)

Make sure to let me know how it goes and if you find out which program at startup is doing it.

By the way, the less things you have enabled at startup the faster the system will boot up. :wink:

davidy:
There are two seemingly identical Quicktime items in the startup list.  Could that have been the cause of the problem?
