One day while i was on my computer, the power knocked out and now once ever so often my computer freezes to a point where it will not read/save anything. For ex: the word Start at the bottom left disappears, Wordpad/Text Documents can't be saved/red, Internet Explorer Icon now shows an unknown file icon when i click on the Desktop Shortcut(at the bottom right of my screen), When i am able to click Start it gives me a drop down window box for me to select Restart or Shutdown, and when it doesn't i have to manually click the Shutdown Button. This happens rather i am using Limewire or Not. I think it might be a bug, i have already used Earthlink Protection Control Center and Norton Spyware Scan with Yahoo Toolbar, and it still occurrs. Can it possibly be something wrong with my DSL Modem that causes the computer glitch. Also i have Yahoo Widgets, and on my Digital Clock Widget, the 10s and 1s place of the DCW will read File Missing, or something like that. Has anyone one experienced this.

Could be a number of things - could be a virus or most likely spyware
Restart your computer and keep on tapping either f5 or f8 and then select safe mode
Once in safemode see if you still have these problems - if not it will be a software problem most likely spyware
Visit download.com and look for spybot search and destroy and lava soft adaware - do a scan on your system whilst in safe mode - what one misses the other will pick up
All do this
Click start > run > type MSCONFIG
click on the startup tab
These are the programs that start when windows start and cause conflicts - disable as many as you want ( this process if reversable)
then restart
also check your device manager for any conflicts
Hope this helps

go to start>run> and type cmd, in the console window, type in
SFC /SCANNOW
keep your XP installation disc handy, if it doesnt help, try restoring yur system to earlier time, before that f**k up happened, if that too doesnt work, re-install the OS. Hoep that helps

sounds like you had a head crash when the power went out, you need a new hard drive, or at very least to reload your os
