Hello

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-FW41E and I am running Vista 32bit. For the past month the computer freezes about a minute after booting. The computer works fine when booting in safe mode (and with networking) so I guess their is an issue with a recent driver or similar. I have tried rolling back to no avail. Can anyone advise of the best approach to tackling this?

Cheers

Paul

I'm aware vista is pretty ropey. I have run rkill/malware bytes in safe mode and they come up clean.

Gonna run spybot s&d now and see if that finds anything...
