Ok so it boots up OK semingly, the system configuratin utility
window pops up as per normal (well for my set-up anyway).
At the is point the system is normall ready to use, however I cannot do
anything, I can move the mouse, if I click the X (exit) box on the system
config util
I normally get an hour glass and then can't do anything else then, the
keyboard is not
responsive at this point. If i do not click close on the SCU I usually
cannot
do anything else, thypically if I drag the mouse to the taskbar at the
bottom an hour glass
appears and generally clicking on anything does not work.
If this happens I normally reboot, and usually that clears it, however
sometimes it
does not so I reboot into recovery, this recovery starts off normally but
ends in
a blue screen with a :-
STOP C0000021a error (further error code is 0xc0000034) the same as is
described here
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic339940.html
however I seem to be in better shape than that guy as I have so far always
managed to boot up eventually,
Obviously it is a bit worrying.
Of course this errror may be unrelated to the freezing, I do not usualy use
the recovery thing.
A few things I should mention, this problem may have appeared after an
upgrade to my COMODO firewall.
So I will try and uninstall that and revert to the old firewall. (Sunbelt).
I did a vurus scan and it did pick up something but that is removed and I
still
have the error.

So any ideas?
I will try removing the firewall and see if that helps.
TIA
