1. Computer does not want to respond to commands

2. An icon (any) on desktop has to be clicked two or
three times, maybe more, before it will start loading

3. When it does start it loads in phases until fully
loaded (slowly!)

4. Going from link to link is very slow and as with
icon, will load in phases.

5. Font in email program changes at will during typing,
mostly back to Comic Sanns.

6. Typing in email program will suddenly disappear during
the act of writing it.

Another thing that happens periodically in email and Word
is, if you have to go back a few words and say, add
an 's' to the end of a word and then hit the space bar,
it will not space. The words do not move and the next
letter will delete. The space bar acts as a 'delete' key!

Help!!!!
 
What is the state of your computer? Have you considered
that it might be infected?
Do you have all the critical patches for your OS
installed? Do you have a firewall installed and
activated; or absent a third-party firewall, do you have
the Win XP firewall activated? Do you have anti-virus
software (currently updated) installed and enabled?
Suggest you take the above actions, if you can't answer
with a "yes". When was the last time you scanned your
machine for viruses, worms, and malware?
