Ried, it's hard to tell if this issue is a result of some registry mess created by Xp Repair Pro.I regularly check Task Manager for background activity since I'm a paranoid type :-) but I really don't recall precisely what was the "before" and "after" activity log regariding installed programs or scans made with XP repair Pro, so hard to tell for sure what was the responsible action for this. As you can see I have many programs installed, and maybe also one of those programs was the problem. One of the latest programs I installed was "trojan remover" and "trojan hunter". I think the latter was creating trouble (it froze my system), so I decided to uninstall it, and when uninstalled it created a BSOD (very rare, in fact the only BSOD I recall in my PC in years). I'm mentioning this eventhough it might have nothing to do with the problem at hand. Regarding XP Repair Pro, it does create restore points, but for some reason the only ones I see are very old ones (dated 4/14/07 and 4/15/07), and restoring to those points would create many problems since I did install many programs after that date that would be compromised.
