Did this start just after a "patch Tuesday" ?

Sounds like registry corruption.
Are you willing to repair XP? |

okay do this...
1. Uninstall proxy switcher.
2. run a registry cleaner. CCleaner is a favorite here : http://www.ccleaner.com/ Now check how your computer runs, make note of any glitches since they may tell you how the trouble started in the first place. If you haven't recently scan for malware. Pull out the XP cd and run a full system repair install, you're not going to be using the repair console for this. Instructions here : http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=151522 You will need to re-install all the updates and drivers after you've done this but it won't touch your data. When everything is up and running well, now set a restore point. That done install the latest copy of proxy switcher. |
