Yes I have it running

Yes I have FX running

disable it.......

Unless theres another way to do it out side of my start menu I won't be able to, is there? The start menu is killing me because you have to be pretty quick to not let any sub menus appear.

unless theres a short cut.

if FX icon is not in taskbar ( you can unload it from there) then open taskmanager/processes and end process on wfxload.exe

ctrl-alt-del will bring up Taskmanager

OK I ended task in task manager my sub menues seem to be back in working order and I now have a FX icon in my toolbar.

is your system working??????

now I feel like were getting somewhere. The icon is asking me to configure, but I just ended the task

everything seems to be fine "You saved me yrag" what do you think happened

You da man

Transitions and Transparency effects take a real toll on graphic cards. Configure FX not to load on startup and then unload FX. Leave it off until you're sure that's the problem.

Glad to help....and you still have your hair. Enjoy the rest of the weekend

thank you my friend your help and your time is very much appreciated.

set startup con-fig/restart. its baaaaack same nonsense as before

do you have WB4?

while we're at it disable your anti-virus proggie......

you didn't shoot your machine, did you?

was going to but then I came to my senses and stepped away for a little while.
I don't know if it is WB4. I have whatever comes with the object-desktop pac.

stepping away is always a good idea....I tried something on one of my systems that worked...let me know when ready

READY

I like a guy not faint of heart...disable anti-virus proggie and scan for Windows updates. Install 811943 and reboot on prompt. If it starts up and runs, fine...if not, disable anti-virus and uninstall thru control panel/add/remove programs and reboot on prompt. One or both of these should work...if I hear gunfire I'll know it didn't. What ever you do don't give up we're on the right track.

Hear it goes
