Hi all,

My problem is that i am unable to edit startup because my computer
hangs when i run msconfig.

Otherwise the computer seems to be working alright. I never tried
running msconfig before but now i see that windows takes a long time to
start. So I thought i would check the start up in msconfig utility.

Every other program that is running simultaneuosly keeps working fine.
Only the msconfig window is not working, although it shows up on the
desktop.

I am not sure if it was the stinger anti-virus which i had run only
previously. it found a lot of viruses.

Thanks for your help

Regards
Mondal
