If the issue continues to occur, start Windows without loading any terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs or device drivers (this is called a clean boot). To do so, follow these steps:

2. Disable any anti-virus or disk utility programs installed on the computer. For information about how to disable these programs, consult the program's documentation or manufacturer.
3. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
4. In the Close Program dialog box, click any program except Explorer or Systray, and then click End Task.
   
   NOTE: Do not close Explorer or Systray.
5. If a dialog box appears notifying you that the program is not responding, click End Task.
6. Repeat steps 2-4 for each program you want to quit.
