Ok, here's the dilemma. I boot up my computer, everything operates "as it should" and the desktop shows up. As explorer.exe is loading (MS 2kpro OS) it stalls. Task manager shows it operating with 99% of the CPU thus, nothing else will load or operate. I think it occured because of uninstalling and reinstalling programs recently. How do I fix this? I have the OS disk, but the computer will not boot with the disk to reload or repair the problem. I have tried to reinstall the OS after booting up the computer, but it doesn't recognize the product key code that I have. Hmm.
