Thanks for the quick response
Rockpig,
I'm sorry I didn't mention that that was my first action, then when that didn't work I went into safemode and tried a revert to saved point which didn't work either.
w1che, Thanks I forgot about that, and it did work and I investigated and took care of the problem -- IDEChnDr.sys which is intel's application accelerator program. I reloaded fromthe MB driver disk and all taken care of.
again thanks guys !!
