About every other time I open an application it will seem
to be opening like normal then after the little time
counter ends nothing happens, then about 10 to 30
miniutes later it will open. This happen with all the
applications on my computer and even the control-alt-
delete. What should I do???
Thanks

You don't give us enough details to get a good answer. System specs, did
this always happen, what changed between the time it worked and the
time it didn't, every app or only a few, these are the sorts of details
that would have been helpful. Here are general troubleshooting steps:

1) scan with current antivirus using updated definitions; 2) remove
spyware with tools such as Spybot S&D (www.security.kolla.de) and/or
Ad-aware (www.lavasoftusa.com) - note that it is a good idea to do
virus and spyware scans in Safe Mode; 3) delete temporary and Temporary
Internet Files; 4) stop unnecessary services/programs from running at
startup (see www.blackviper.com for a listing of services). After
making sure the computer is clean - does the problem persist? If yes,
then post back with details.
