Don't know if anyone can help, but this is the error message I get trying to launch anything, from firefox to taskmanager.

The pc was ok yesterday afternoon, but on reboot yesterday evening this started to happen. Everything seems to work in safe mode which made me think that maybe it was a windows update. I looked and couldn't see anything new at all.

It is like looking for a needle in a haystack and not really sure where to start. Don't want to reinstall windows, especially without knowing what the cause of the problem is.

Just running a virus scan in safe mode at the mo. And ideas would be MUCH appreciated.

XP home sp3 btw
 
Well it seems ok now.
I'm not sure if the virus scan found something as nod32 seems to run in a dos window and just closed it's self after the scan. i will check the log in a bit.
The only other thing I did was uninstall sisoft sandra '09 lite. As this was the only piece of software I installed yesterday.
So none the wiser but fixed, for now :S
