I have a 800mhz pc running winXP. Has been running great and now all of a
sudden when you boot the system it seems to boot fine but once the desktop
loads and you click on something nothing happens. Its not freezing it just
doesnt respond any more. Sometimes you have to turn on and off 6 or more
times before you are actually able to access it. I have tried doing a system
restore but the problem is still there. Does anyone have any suggestions as
to what to look at???? Please help this is p-ing me off.

What are your anti-virus / anti-spyware arrangements?

Have you looked at the Warning and Error Reports in the System and
Application logs in Event Viewer?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in
a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click for further information. You can copy using copy
and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further
information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.
