Posted September 22, 200717 yr Noticed the computer (XP SP2, 3.2 Pentium, 1Gb Ram, 160 Gb HD) was sluggish, went to Task Manager/Processes and viewed multiple entries of iexplore.exe, Outlook.exe, etc. Closed some of them and decided to Shutdown. Upon restarting computer, I cannot click on any of the four user accounts. The mouse does not highlight any of them. Restarted in Safe Mode - again could not click on users. Tried to click on Administrator - nothing. About a minute later, it finally accepted and started up. I went to the C: drive and attempted to CHKDSK. Computer would not allow in Safe Mode, but indicated that it would run upon next boot up. Restarted and computer is currently in CHKDSK. Results so far: File record segment 47688 is unreadable File record segment 47689 is unreadable File record segment 47690 is unreadable File record segment 47691 is unreadable Deleting an index entry from index $0 from file 13040 Deleting index entry CE55FA~1 in index $I30 of file 25603 Deleting index entry CE56FA~1 in index $I30 of file 25603 CHKDSK is recovering lost files CHKDSK is verifying file data Windows replaced bad clusters in file 4396 of name C:\DOCUME~1\ELIZABETH~1\LOCALS~1\TEMPOR~1\Content.IE5\index.dat 10% Completed It appears as though there is some bad data in the internet explorer content file and in several directories. Why would this be causing boot up problems? Any thoughts or help anyone could share would be apreciated.
