Re-seated memory, ran DocMem (short test) and it tested good. Also ran
scandisk and let it do a surface scan on the "used" portion of the h.d.
No problems found. Then ran scanreg /fix. Started Windows, went to
msconfig, and unchecked all options. (Not to load Autoexec.bat,
config.sys, system.ini, win.ini, and startup items). Re-started Windows,
and as it came up, it reported registry corruption, and loaded a prior
registry copy. When it again re-started, msconfig had the startup items
checked. Next thing, I guess I'll try one startup item at a time.

BTW, it's clean of viruses, worms, trojans, etc. according to AVG v.7,
Spybot S&D 1.3, AdAware SE, and Stinger.
