I'm not sure if this issue is the same, but it seems the closest to anything I've seen on the boards...
I'm running XP Home SP3. I have no other AV software running. I had N360 v2.5x running (just fine) until last night. Last night I upgraded to N360 v3.0.
Now it seems like I can't get my pc to complete the start-up sequence. I log in to my account, and I may be able to get a couple of things quickly initiated, but within about 2 minutes processing locks up. I've tried waiting more than an hour to see if it clears up, but it does not. The mouse will still move around, but the rest of the display is locked. Nothing seems to be hitting the disk. I am unable to get to Task Manager to see what going on. Also unable to swap applications. The only way to reboot is to bring it down hard.
Any suggestions?
