The pointer becomes an hourglass when I move it to the taskbar.?

Question

Every time I turn on my pc,nothing responds and most of the time even the icons don't show up.I have to log off by bringing the taskmanager(alt+ctrl+del is the only thing that gets any response at this time)and log in again to make the pc function.I have formatted my disk and installed a new win xp,have scanned my hard drive with anti viruses but nothing seems to work.

Answer 1

Anti virus won't catch much spyware, Spy ware logs every keystroke you enter, records every web site you visit, tracks cretidcard numbers and passwords, and then phones home every few minutes to report on you,

And the symptoms you describe sounds like you got so much spyware installed it is hogging the system resources. You need to download a free program called Ad-Aware SE Personal and runit monthly, maybe weekly or daily if you aren't the kind of person who wants to restrict his access.

Here's the download website:

Answer 2

have to do with your computer hardware...
check your computer specs......

According to the minimum requirements for installing Windows XP Professional, you would need to upgrade the processor to at least a 233 MHz processor. Ideally, though, if you want to
upgrade this processor, you should consider upgrading to something significantly faster. Although Windows XP Professional also requires a minimum of 64 MB RAM, 128 MB of RAM is recommended for adequate performance.

Answer 3

That is very odd. You should probably contact the company about it or get a new computer when Vista comes out in January. Also it will not perform as well if you upgraded to XP from a previous OS.

Answer 4

woah, thats weird i say you call someone that you know that knows alot about technology. or if you dont care (you proabably do) you can clean in. cleaning it is wiping away everything from your computer that you have ever done. you have to get somebody special to do it though. good luck! :0)
