Hello Everyone,
First time poster because this is the first issue that I have had with Vista that I couldn't google and figure out. I very rarely reboot my system and did for the first time in a couple of weeks Sunday to do a mild overclock. When I got into the BIOS I noticed that the multiplier was set at 8 instead of 9 so I set it back to 9 (where is should have been) and rebooted. Now when I log into Vista it takes forever for Symantec AntiVirus Corp (yes it's legal, I'm in the Air Force and get a copy for free under the home use license), ZoneAlarm, Start++, and my Lexmark printer utility to load and eventually the system freezes. When start in safe mode the system is very slow and freezes. The only change that I have made since my last reboot was an update to Start++. Last night I flashed my BIOS with the current version and that didn't help. When I left my house this morning I was in safe mode trying to bring up system restore and it was locked up. Any ideas?
**Edit**
Forgot to mention that I tried to reinstall Vista and when installer gets to this point Link Removed due to 404 Error it stops responding.
