Hi,

I have recently performed a fresh install of Win XP professional.  I did
everything perfect from scratch i.e. long NTFS format first prior to
installing Windows.  After this I installed the following applications:
Norton 360, Easy CD Media Creator 10, Mozilla Firefox, Limewire.

The PC worked okay for a day or so.  But today in the morning I tried to
boot it and it froze straight after I logged in.  I attempted to boot the PC
3 or 4 times after and it was freezing up prior to the login screen.  
Eventually I logged in and noticed the following error in event viewer:
"The SessionLauncher service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified"
I clicked on the link for more information and in the file name it
referenced "netevent.dll" and under source it referenced "Service Control
Manager"

I am totally confused as this is a fresh install.

Could you please advise
Thanks, Tim

A fresh install would be booting to xp cd,also,one must delete the partition,
create one,then xp formats the hd.If you did not delete,then a clean install
was not performed....
