I was installing a few utility apps and things when my laptop running windows 7 stopped responding. I tried to reboot and still very unresponsive... the mouse moves but i am unable to click on icons or open the start menu. eventually things catch up after over a minute.
when i start in safe mode with networking support i am able to operate the laptop at lightening speed and web browsing is a dream.
I ran msconfig and shut off all non windows services and still get the same thing. after no results i then got and ran spybot, malwarebytes, and other such tools but got no results. they all show nothing wrong.
now what?
Did you uninstall the utility apps which you was trying to install and this problem starts? Did you also try any restore point where you system was working good. – avirk – 2012-10-10T02:50:41.807
download AutoRuns and see what is running on startup (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx). Like avirk said, try restoring to an earlier point and uninstall those utilities
