This is what I get for every any time I start to install anything or try to open anything significant (msconfig, Vista advanced settings…)  
I’ve tried every fix I can find through searching.

I’ve run full scans by malware, spybot, and symantec.

I rest the registry to default settings in safe mode.

Got to restart and everything works fine for a while.

If I restart again or have the computer on for a few hours it ends up FUBARed all over again.

Dell XPS 410  
Vista home premium 32 - bit

Any help would be awesome. I’m at a loss. I’ve read everywhere and searched everywhere and I can’t find a permanent fix.  
It’s somewhere in the permissions I know I’m close but I just can’t get to a permanent fix.

Somehow you turned your PC into a DSM impressive

So disable all none microsoft services and disable all startup items from safe mode.

Try running [http://www.gmer.net/](http://www.gmer.net/)

Remove everything in “C:\Windows\Temp”
