[Donna Wilhelm]

The computer begins to slow immediatly after startup and,
most of the time, freezes. Sometimes it displays "Listen

It's hard to say with so little information provided. Here are generic
troublshooting steps for you to take:

General Windows troubleshooting: 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 or contact
good local computer repair shop.
