While trying to write a cd I found that the system hanged.
Opened the Event viewer & found plenty of errors there. Now I tried to restart but the desktop is only visiable in safe mode , but not in normal mode. What to do.
I get following errors.
WMI ADAP was unable to load the winspool.drv performance library due to an unknown problem within the library: 0x0

The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort1, did not respond within the timeout period.
Any help to sort out this problem would be kind enough of you.

I got my desktop back by clicking "show my desktop icons" by right clicking on desktop, but the 2 errors still remain in the event viewer.
Any clue whats going wrong.
