Vista Machine Acting Up

This machine came to my attention pretty much "dead in the water".
It would boot all the way to Windows about 50% of the time, but then stall out when attempting to open "anything", even Windows Explorer.

Successful Booting to SAFE Mode was also a 50-50 deal, with the same stall, though I could sometimes access MSCONFIG or Control Panel. I'm not clear about what I was and wasn't able to do in SAFE Mode and don't want to make SAFE Mode the issue at this time.

I was able to use the HP Hardware Scan from SAFE Mode, and found "All Passed".
I was able to use System Restore from SAFE Mode. <— That's why the machine is even running at this time.
I rolled back to a Restore Point about two months ago.
_________

What I've noticed:

6TO4 Adapter <–39 instances of this adapter appear in Device Manager – Network Adapters
(All but one instance is now gone in this Restore Point)

isatap. {03C3FBDE-B1F1-4088-A437-F5BE54990C4D} <– 11 instances of this adapter appear in Device Manager – Network Adapters
(All but one instance is now gone in this Restore Point)

Realtek TRL8139/819x Family Fast Ethernet NIC <–I believe this is the NIC installed

Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface

WAN Miniport (IP)
WAN Miniport (Ipv6)
WAN Miniport (L2TP)
WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
WAN Miniport (PPTP)

Also:
Attempts to Navigate in Windows Explorer continue to be prevented with "Access Denied" for:
My Documents
My Music
My Pictures
Application Data
Local Settings
__________________

I'm able to navigate pretty much everywhere else, for instance:
c:\Program Files
Some Document Folders
C:\
C:\Windows
E:\ (optical drive)
_______________

The machine is running "fairly well" at this time, though VISTA is pretty slow with just 1gb of RAM

Sorry about the delay is what should have been a simple reply.
Irony is that SilentRunners decided to unzip itself into –
C:\Users\Leroy\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp2_SilentRunners.zip\
FileName is: StartUp Programs (Leroy-PC) 2007-04-12-20-18.14.txt

Irony is that UserName Leroy does not have permission to navigate to that location, even though Leroy is an Administrator.

So I Created a new User, as: Doug - with administrative permissions.
But to complicate the situation, SilentRunners only allows 9 seconds to reply in the screen prompts, before it just goes ahead and runs.
It only identifies the "location" of the eventual .txt file, is a brief portion of those 9 seconds, before it just disappears.

I ran it 3 times to get the full read on the eventual location of where the darn file is saved.
(should something be done to urge the author to allow user-action to advance the screen prompts, instead of the brief and relentless automatic movement throught the scripts, resulting in possible user-confusion?)

Here's SilentRunners Text file:
