One person indicated he had gotten rid of the problem by putting in a new hard drive, but this seems drastic to me since there is no other evidence that the hard drive is bad. If anyone has an answer to this, I will be very grateful. Joined: Jan 11, Messages: 2 Likes Received: 0. I originally thought it was a virus or trojan, but scans have turned up nothing. Additionally, program starts are very slow or not at all with no errors produced. Most programs won't launch, and no errors are returned.
Those that do start take minutes. I see references to this in other forums, but no definitive solutions. Portouw, Jan 11, I think the problem was caused by a Symantec internet security patch.
I uninstalled it all it came on the machine and went to another solution. Works much better. Also had some indications that it might have been a corrupted sidebar applet, but I was eventually able to get the sidebar to stop trying to load, with no improvement. You can gain insight into what's happening by F8'ing into the boot menu and doing a logged boot. Let it run for a while- minutes, and then look at the file ntboot.
Prior to figuring this out, I was able to get a clean shut down and get some programs working by shutting it down before it complete loading everything after the boot. Portouw, Jan 13, If so, have you tried disabling that to see if it improves the situation?
Asking because I keep seeing more postings on Windows Defender being involved in wierd lockup problems. WAW8, Jan 14, I also tried Larry's solution which involved rolling the restore point back to a time before it started doing it. That didn't work eitheralthough I may not have rolled it back far enough--that's my next step. McAfee suggested that I uninstall and reinstall their anti-virus suite, so I'm going to try that too.
I'll let you all know if any of this works. I do appreciate your replies and efforts to help. Joined: Mar 14, Messages: 19 Likes Received: 0. RE: [SOLVED] Error message: "Login process has failed to create the security options dialog" I picked up this problem having installed AVG and ThreatFire, uninstalling them both at the same time so I didn't identify the culprit from safe mode was the only the thing that fixed it for me, after much rebooting and other juggling startup apps.
So, judging by the other posts its some sort of security issue with the software. Goffee, Jan 20, Joined: Jan 24, Messages: 1 Likes Received: 0.
I tried doing a system restore back to where i was certain this problem was not occurring. But that didn't help. I am running Norton Internet Security I'm going to try removing that next. Anyone else have any other solutions? Dumhead, Jan 24, They downloaded and ran S. Also saw some posts claiming this was fixed by removing AVG and another post where the person claimed it was Symantec LiveUpdate causing the problem.
