No application/utility will launch
LockedPC running Windows XP Home
System will boot to the user profile (only one user) but when they click on an icon/glyph the application associated with that icon/glyph will not launch and the system is nonresponsive for several seconds.I have booted into safe mode and run Adaware, Spybot, and Norton AV and then ran the disk defrag utility. However, the anomoly still persists.
NOTE: Prior to all that I attempted to restore the OS from a previous checkpoint but the restore would either not execute or made no difference.
The PC came from a shop that is no longer in business and does not have OS media. Don’t want to do a destructive rebuild …
