    When I boot into vista after a few minutes a grey globe appears in the taskbar and the system freezes. I turned off all startup programs and it still happens. Ran an avast scan and nothing. Running a superantispyware scan now. I did manage to pen the task manager quick though and when the globe appears a process call rlvknlg.exe starts. i tried searching to delete it, but can't find it. Any have any suggestions?

    Do you also have issues booting into Safe Mode?

    I got it by running superantispyware in 7.
