Desktop and Taskbar Freezing

I honestly do not know what to do anymore. My desktop and taskbar
freezes as soon as everything(icons, etc,) loads after startup. A lot
of times the desktop freezes and I can't click on anything but when I
move the mouse down to the taskbar I get the hourglass but it'll just
stay like that even if I leave the computer on. I have tried scanning
for spyare, malware, viruses, registry....found nothing major. I'm
starting to think it may be a hardware problem or something. Everything
is fine in Safe Mode though, there is no freezing at all. I have tried
using system restore to restore to a time when I know for sure the
computer was alright and then the freezing would be gone on the startup
right after the system restore but the next time I restart the computer
the problem returns.

Now system restore is not fixing it anymore - even when I restore to a
previous time when there was no problem the freezing will still be
there. I initially thought it was because of windows service pack 3
causing the problem but after system restore I didn't allow it to be
installed and the problem is still there. I haven't downloaded or
installed anything that I know of before the problem started; it is as
though it suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The only thing I haven't
tried is the full system restore which deletes everything and restores
the computer to factory-settings. But that is the last resort.

A few days ago, after leaving the computer off for several days, the
computer started up perfectly fine but while I was surfing the internet
the taskbar froze while the desktop was completely fine. Some other
times if the desktop does not freeze I can open folders but I can't open
the programs.

My PC info is:

Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1.2600
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
Video Device: Radeon X1300/X1550 Series
Physical Memory: 509MB
Service Pack: 2.0

If anyone has any idea whats wrong with my PC please help me!

Thanks.

Try my Explorer Shell Fix tool. Download it here
http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm if the problem is still there
then run my diagnostic tool called whatslivern. That file after a few
seconds, when complete, will generate a log file. That log file will be
saved in the same directory you ran the program from, using the email link
and the bottom of my page send me a copy of that log file.

Ignore any posts made by the Stalker Leythos, he's still in love with me.
He started stalking me after I spurned his advances towards me.
He said he would stop Stalking me If I stopped mentioning his name.
As you can see that does not work. He is a sick obsessive STALKER.

Hi

I can't click on the link you gave me, The Real Truth MVP. When I try
to I get a page load error saying that 'Firefox can't find the server at
pcbutts1.com.'

Also, sorry for posting numerous times. What happened was that
everytime I tried to post I got an error so I just kept going back and
clicking the post button without knowing it was actually posting.
