Robert;
Run an updated virus scan.
Or Scan for Viruses online:
http://security.symantec.com/ssc/hom...ZTYMWPAZTJWUFJ
Run Disk Cleanup checking all boxes except "Compress old files"
Run Defrag.
If you have file sharing software such as Kazaa, disable it.
Check this link:
http://www.aumha.org/a/noads.php
Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:
http://www.lavasoft.de/ (Update if you already have it)
Or
http://spybot.eon.net.au/ (Update if you already have it)

This may apply if you recently installed Windows XP Service Pack 1:

First try to restore the pc, and if does not woork add
memory, and if does not work, get Macfee virus scan.
I high sugest to give ride of program you not use, videos
etc.
also get this software to clean up your system.
