When starting up my computer, the start-bar seems to "lock up" and my
whole computer slows down and lags. some programs eventually loads after an
hour of leaving the computer by itself, but slowly one after another. when i
press control, alt & delete, nothing loads. i ended up unplugging the
computer and restarting it.. however, the same problem seems to exist. is
this a common error, or do i have a virus? i can't seem to get rid of the
problem and in urgent rush to actually USE this computer!!
