Can any one help...
Everytime startup the screen remains blank but once i press Alt-Ctrl-Del to
load up the task manager i have to LOG OFF and log back on for everything to
work! then i get a Windows Security Alert message saying that "Some features
have to be blocked...do you want to keep on blocking this program?" If i say
UNBLOCK then when i restart the same process of it not starting happens.
however when if i delete this from the security firewall option then i have
the same problem!

it all happened a few weeks ago when i got a message saying that windows
explorer needs to be blocked.. do you allow this. ever since then its beeing
so annoying...

I think thats about it...any help would be appreciated
