With this situation

• Eset NOD 32 or Smart Security
• Windows XP SP3
• Daemon tools with STPD Driver

You may suffer freezing just after your PC boot. I don’t know what exactly cause this problem, But I was digging it for some times, and I suggest a solution which works for me.

Reason (Guessd):

ESET installs some driver which is attached with native driver likes disk driver, network adapter driver and so on for threat scanning. I think STPD driver which is given from Daemon-tools is not work correctly with eset driver.

The Solution:

1. If you can boot up your OS successfully sometimes.

• Update your STPD Driver which is used for Daemon-tools.

2. If you can’t boot successsfully at all times.

• Boot with safe mode.
• Uninstall Daemon-tools
• Uninstall STPD Driver
