It works fine in safe mode. I'm wondering if I've caught me a rootkit. The thing is none of the rootkit oojamaflips seem to work in safe mode, and some of the free ones are just a bit rubbish.

Can someone give me a steer on how to fix this problem?

I have to run windows flavours before anyone gets cute, but I also have various Linux boxes dotted about.

It was the SSDP service causing the system crash. Why I have no idea.
