I'm using XP at work. There are only 2 people in the
office including myself. I don't have more than the
2 app's running and the computer just FREEZES up and
stops working.

I then have to hold the On button to the allow the
computer to shut down.

What could be the cause to this problem?
 
Are you combining work with play ? Did you download
anything from the internet that was free ? If yes its
only free so they can track you and generally screw up
your computer. read "xp suddenly very slow" at this
community newsgroup . It has answers for you.
 
Hi,

You may want to check for Spyware/Adware on your
computer. That could also be the culprit. Can use Spybot
Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, Spyguard, Spyblaster, these
are free. You can also use PestPatrol, its not free, but
very good. I run 5 different ones on my systems (yes its
overkill, but my comp is online 24/7 and always
downloading). One program isn`t enough now a days, but I
suggest trying them to see if you have spyware on your
computer.
