Hello moldyboot ,
thanks for your reply. I did everything you told me and more. I dont have a preference file as i told the uninstaller to remove it during last uninstall. As it didnt startup, it didnt make a .pref file.
Uninstalled quicktime, storm codec (codec installer n media player). I have no 3rd party plugin so far. Its still not running. gets stuck as soon as it reaches showing ram usage line.
I am doing all these operations on my office computer which has 2 gb ram. can it be a virus then? Need help urgently.
