Hey all, luckily I have come to realise Toyota fanatics contain a shitload of the smartest dudes there are, and alot have knowledge in IT etc.
I am semi-competent with PC's.
And I am currently running XP Pro.
Only bug rite now is explorer, the taskbar etc etc keeps crashing. As in dissapearing and reloading.
Anyone know why or what may cause it or fix it?
killed all adware thining tha may have something to do with it, I do have Nortons Internet Security always running (dont see why that would conflict). Have re-installed OS as a system repair.
Prcoesses running are:
SYSTEM
svchost.exe (x3)
cmd.exe
NISSERV.EXE
SYMPROXYSVC.EXE
ScsuAccess.EXE
NISUM.EXE
Navapsvc.exe
mdm.exe
KodakCCS.exe
DVDRAMSV.EXE
spoolsv.exe
Isass.exe
services.exe

msnmsngr.exe
Change Wallpaper.exe
RAMASST.exe
backWeb-7288971.exe
EasyShare.exe
(I know what alot of the stuff is, but just list all of them incase anyone knows anythign that maybe cause a possible conflict - I am only a semi-dummy)

details written above... only two that I can't work out what they are for!
I just searched Windows Startup
AND
The Tasklist Programs from AnswersThatWork.com
I would say that rather than having a virus or spyware you just generally have too much crap running!
A format would probably do your machine some good.

Personally, I'd kill that change wallpaper.exe. It's probably the cause of the "refreshing" that is going on.

theres a conflict manager somewhere in windows find that i it could assess any problems with software which could make that crash otherwise make sure you've got the latest updates incase there was a problem with something.
If all else fails get linux

the only way i would it was when i used "tweak xp" and it had a button that opened it up.
Does it come up with a "send error report" when it crashes all the time?
But i guess it would be is that you or a program might of deleted something in a "windows" or program files directory and every time it goes to search for it, it crashes.

You cant lol when you open the file it delets itself and embeds into your system, you can go to that thingy where you chose what files load on startup and stop it from there but i dont know where that is lol sorrry!!!
