PC Freezes when Desktop X Loaded
Saturday, March 24, 2007 by JohnnyPants | Discussion: DesktopX
Iv'e been using Desktop X now for 2 years without any problems till now. Just recently Iv'e noticed that when I load one of my Themes my pc will freeze as the theme is loading...I have troubled shooted this problem and it only occurs when a theme is trying to load, there have been ocassions when the theme has loaded without fail, but after sometime once again my pc will freeze up...I am able to use my pc without any interuptions(freezeing) which is the normal way, no theme...
Does anybody have an idea to what may be causing this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanx

As for the 2nd drive idea, i keep a CLONE of my laptop drive with me at all times.
I use TRUE IMAGE to clone. its great. When i reload the laptop i take the OLD drive and put it in the BAY drive holder, then the NEW drive in the internal slot.
Once the OS is loaded i can BOOT to either of these drives to see what i missed, or to get REG keys or Serial #'s i forgot. its a great way to check. Just wish i didnt load so much crap on the machine!

You might have some kind of trojan on your system....
Might be a good time to backup, punt, and blast everything, and start over.
Something i do about once a year, so i have a "Clean" install. Its a MAJOR pain (takes like 2 weeks to get EVERYTHING working, but its nice when its done).
Let us know what you find out.
Make things easier on yourself get another hdd and make an image,you can use a smaller hdd if you want so long as the data your copying to it does'nt exceed the smaller hdd's capacity,to copy 130gb to a 2ndry hdd it will take less than 1hr,then it's a matter of unplugging the power to the spare ready for an emergency,updating it is easy if you modify the boot.ini so you can dual boot every month or so
