Issues

[Everlasting Death]

yes it was quicker starting up

[guestolo]

Do you know the exact model of the card reader
Does it need any special drivers?

If not, we'll try another step
Even if it does

Look in Device manager
Under Universal Serial bus controllers
See anything related to your Card reader?
Also look under SCSI and Raid controllers, not sure if you'll find anything there, but take a look

[Everlasting Death]

It is an Akasa Allinone, it has a CD, but it doesn't have any special drivers

there is nothing there

[guestolo]

Did you see my edit

[guestolo]

I think you did see my edit
Try this, shut down, reconnect the Internal card reader to motherboard

Start back up
In device manager, Expand Universal Serial bus controllers

Starting at the top of the list under USB controllers
Right click and uninstall whatever you can
Don't reboot if prompted, just remove what you can from that list

Then shut down the computer
Disconnect again the Internal card reader to motherboard

Start the computer back up
XP should automatically reinstall USB controllers

Reboot a few times ensuring that the startup is ok

After that, shut down, reconnect Internal Card reader
Startup, XP should find and install the device

Restart after it has installed and see if you are back to slow startups again
Check device manager for any errors

[Everlasting Death]

yes, and there is nothing there for the card reader, do u still want it disconnected? because it is

[guestolo]

We're posting at the same time, check my last reply

[Everlasting Death]

after reconnecting the icr it booted like normal and it actually worked http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' /> So, it would appear there are no more issues

tysm for your help http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

[guestolo]

Well, maybe it just needed a kick in the *ss,
Try rebooting a couple more times and check out the ICR and ensure it reads your SD's

We have some cleaning up to do on some tools we used
Don't delete anything yet, we'll do it in proper sequence

P.S. I'm off to the Gym, so I won't be back for a couple hours
Can you post one last final Hijackthis log please
Just to ensure it's clean

[Everlasting Death]

alrighty rebooted 3 times and it all appears to be good

Sorry about the delay
Can you do the following

Delete RSIT.exe and it's folder C:\rsit
Delete Flash_Disinfector.exe on desktop, unless you haven't ran it on on your flash cards, thumb drives,etc...

Go to START>>RUN>>copy and paste the following to the Open field

ComboFix /u
Then hit OK, this will uninstall ComboFix and it's components

Download > [color=\"red\"]OTMoveIt3 [/color] <[/url] by OldTimer.

• Save it to your desktop.
  
• Double-click OTMoveIt3.exe to run it.
  
• Click the Cleanup! button
  A list will be downloaded>>Allow it Internet access if prompted by your Firewall
  Don't change anything in this list
  
• Select Yes at the prompt
  Wait for the confirmation box to open to reboot the computer
  Don't mouseclick during the wait as you may cause the tool to stall
  
• Select Yes to reboot Now
  

NOTE: This procedure will also delete OTMoveit.exe from desktop

Uninstalling ComboFix would of also reset System Restore
Can you manually create a new restore point please
Go to START>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>System Restore
Create a Restore Point

When that's done
Close down your browser windows
Access your Add and Remove Programs and remove older updates of Java
This includes
Javaâ„¢ 6 Update 4
Javaâ„¢ 6 Update 7

I suggest that you add SpywareBlaster to your protection software
SpywareBlaster  by JavaCool  
At the link you can read more about it then continue with
Free Download on the right>>Continue Download at next page
Basically it

*Will block bad ActiveX Controls
*Block Malevolent cookies in Internet Explorer and Firefox
*Restrict actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer

Select Manual updating when installing
After installation, Check for updates
After updating, select "Protection Status" on the Left
Then select "Enable all Protection"
"Check for updates every couple of weeks"
after every update just simply click the "enable protection on all unprotected items"
or again, click on Protection Startus>>enable all protection

I see you have CCleaner installed
Can you run the Cleaner
Just to be on the safe side, I would take the time and change all online passwords
Eg.. Online banking, email, gaming, etc....
