Ok this is my problem:

When I start up my computer, everything goes well until i get to the Welcome menu, it takes longer time that usual, and when it gets to the desktop, only the background picture is shown. Not the start menu or shortcuts.

Few processes are running, (mostly the Windows neccesary ones) and Wgatray and Explorer.exe.
I cna then enter taskmanager and close explorer start it up and then my computer works fine, there are aboslutely no problems.

At the same time when i start my computer with internet access this problem does not occur, only when i have turned of my wireless access or at places where there are no internet.

I am running WinXP pro SP2 (Danish version) on a Zepto laptop computer intel Dualcore t7200 with 2gb ddr2 ram, nwidia geforcego 7600 512 mb ram.

At first i thought it was a virus or similar malware, but it does not seem so as neither Panda, Trendmicro or avast has found any viruses. Adware se and Zonealarm has found no malware and i am constantly undersurveillance of Zonealarm Pro...

Still i hav emade a Hijack this thread so you could help me exclude the option of Malware, i can't seem to find anything wrong i that logfile.

I have tried to Switch the Explorer.exe file with a file from a working system, no difference, windows have been updated since, no difference... I would actually say that I have tried anything but formatting, whcih i would really really like to avoid because of exam works and 70gb files that need to be saved on dvd, hell of a lot of work...

Here is the Hijackthis logfile, any one please help
