    It's possible that your MSCONFIG file was corrupted or deleted by past viruses; try downloading a new version and saving it to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or wherever your SYSTEM32 folder is.

    Good call, Thrax. :cheers:

    Vagrantx, you might want to open a Command Prompt and run sfc /scannow - that will verify all of your system files. Have your Windows CD handy when you start.

    If you run into more trouble like this down the road, it may be a good idea to start a thread in our Spyware/Virus/Trojan Discussion Forum and make sure the virus you had is completely dead and has had a stake pounded through its evil heart. Make sure you read the instructions for posting in the SVT Forum if you need to go that route. :)

    Did SFC tell you that it replaced any files?

    You might try reinstalling your AGP driver and Video drivers (in that order).
