Basically if i reboot or boot up my computer, and log into windows it hangs. Starts loading the 5 progs in the system tray but i cant click anything on the task bar cause theres the hour glass. I can click things on the desktop thoug. I usually contol alt delete log out and log back in and everything loads up normally and fine.
I mean after the inital log out log back in everything runs great which is why i try to keep my pc on 24hours but this problem pisses me off when i have to reboot.
BTW when the system hangs and i ctrl alt out i get msseges say end explorer.exe "end now" and program o.exe "end now" and sometimes atitweak.exe "end now. But thats only after my 1st log in and out.

What happens when you boot into safe mode? Run MSCONFIG and disable all the startup items. Enable them one at a time until you find the problem. You could try checking Event Viewer as well...see if a program is throwing an error.
