Hi raptorsvt79,
Welcome to Windows Vista Answers Forums!
Method 1: First you may try to run a clean boot and verify if any of the services or startup items is causing this issue.
To perform a clean boot we will have to run System Configuration Utility.
To perform Clean boot and check if it works, follow the steps below and refer the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939671
To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista:
1.
Click Start, type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press
ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue.
2.
On the General tab, click Selective Startup.
3.
Under Selective Startup, click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
4.
Click the Services tab, click to select the
Hide All Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable All.
5.
Click Apply and OK.
6.
When you are prompted, click Restart.
7.
After the computer starts verify if you are getting the same issue.
If your issue is resolved after performing Clean Boot, then follow the steps mentioned in the following KB article to narrow down the exact source:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Also, see the section on how return your computer to a Normal startup mode by following the steps under “Reset the computer to start as usual”.
Method 2: You can try to run a System File checker tool.
This tool will fix the system files if they are corrupted.
Steps to perform SFC scan:
1.
Click the Start button
2.
From the Start Menu, Click All programs followed by Accessories
3.
In the Accessories menu, Right Click on the Command Prompt option
4.
From the drop down menu that appears, Click on the 'Run as administrator' option
5.
If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for authorization prior to the command prompt opening.
You may simply need to press the Continue button if you are the administrator or insert the administrator password etc.
6.
In the Command Prompt window, type: sfc /scannow and then press Enter
7.
A message will appear stating that 'The system scan will begin'
8.
Be patient because the scan may take some time
9.
If any files require replacing SFC will replace them.
You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue
10.
If everything is okay you should, after the scan, see the following message "Windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations"
11.
After the scan has completed, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.
You may also disable the Security software and check whether the issue persists.
Hope this information is helpful.
