The way I found around this which seems to be working soo far for me is to do a system
restore. Immediately after, RUN/MSCONFIG and disable STARTEAK in the startup tab....I
also uninstalled Norton Antivirus....this is NOT necessarily a fix for everyone I
know, but has been working fine for me soo far after doing these things. Thanks
