Answer 1

Consider maintenance: take off some of the things on your pc; defraging and clearing the disk might help too

Answer 2

You may have a virus that is causing the problem or a trojen. Just be on the safe side, I would suggest wiping your hard drive completely and reinstall the windows you have.

Answer 3

One answer said your windows installation may be corrupted, and that is one possibility. Others have said you may have a virus or trojan (not "trojen").

If you're unable to keep windows open long enough to do anything, I suggest you go to Help2Go (a help forum), register (it's free), then go to their general computer help forum ( http://www.help2go.com/ ). If you can't do it on your computer, you can use a friend's computer to post back and forth until yours is working OK. Tell them what you've posted here and that you don't know if it's a virus or a windows problem. They'll guide you from there with step-by-step instructions.

WIPING YOUR HARD DRIVE (ERASING EVERYTHING, THEN REINSTALLING ALL PROGRAMS...YOU LOSE ALL DATA YOU HAVE ON THE DRIVE)...IS A LAST RESORT. There is no need to do that yet. Either going to Help2Go for assistance and/or following the steps below will solve the problem almost all the time.

If you can work online, the following steps will rule out almost all virus/trojan/worm problems. Take them in order. They will take some time and effort, but if you skip anything you’ll still have the problem (the last computer I did this for, Panda and Housecall cleaned out over 30 viruses). You might want to copy these instructions, save to your hard drive, and print them out for reference while you’re doing it.

First, go here and run Panda ActiveScan (online virus scan)

Then, go here and run Housecall (another online virus scan)
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Then, go here and download Ewido (the free trial version) http://www.ewido.net/en/ .
Install it, BUT DON’T RUN IT YET.

Reboot your computer into safe mode (tap F8 repeatedly as it reboots, then choose safe mode). While in safe mode, run Ewido. Then, reboot normally.

When done, download and run AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy. They both have help files, but basically just let them run a full-system scan and remove whatever they find. BE SURE TO UPDATE THEM FIRST, BEFORE RUNNING THEM. After this, update and run them every couple of weeks to keep spyware from accumulating.

AdAware (Get the se personal)

Spybot Search And Destroy
(choose language, then click icon for “Spybot - Search & Destroy”)
http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

If these steps do not clean out your computer, you will need advanced help (the above steps will clean out over 90% of computers). I suggest Help2Go ( http://www.help2go.com/ ). You’ll have to register (it’s free), then go to their Spyware and Virus Removal Forum. They are professionals in the computer field, and offer their help for nothing.

**Be specific about what your problem is, and when you post be sure to tell them all you know about your system (Processor speed, size of hard drive, RAM memory amount, audio and video cards if you have them, and Operating System -- 98SE, 2000, XP, etc.).

**Also be sure to tell them the steps you’ve already taken (above). They’ll take you through it step-by-step, and they have advanced tools available that need an expert to interpret.

If you need help finding out what’s in your computer, you can download and run Belarc Advisor. Once installed, when you run it you’ll get a window showing everything on your computer. Just look for the specs I listed above and it will tell you. You can get Belarc Advisor here http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

After you’re done and your computer is clean, you should get the following programs to keep your system free of further problems. Be advised there are other good anti-virus, firewall, and spyware programs that are free -- I just listed these because they are the ones I use and they work for me. BE SURE TO HAVE ONLY ONE ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM INSTALLED. If you try two, they’ll work against each other and cause all kinds of problems.

AVG anti-virus (free version)
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

ZoneAlarm (use the free version -- when you get the window asking if you want to upgrade, just tell it to remind you in 60 days)
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp (scroll down and click “Free ZoneAlarm and Trials”, then scroll to the right on the page it opens and click to download just the basic firewall -- the others you have to pay for).

***NOTE*** -- ZoneAlarm version 6.5 and above will not work with Windows 98SE or Windows ME. It is only for newer Windows systems (2000, XP, Vista). If you have 98SE or ME, you’ll have to Google search for a firewall compatible with 98 and ME.


SpywareGuard and SpywareBlaster (several downloads here -- just get these two)
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/downloads.html

***ONE LAST NOTE***
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, download and run "HijackThis" unless you are an expert at interpreting the results. This program is an advanced malware removal tool. If you check the wrong thing and tell it to “Fix,” you could do irrepairable damage to your computer. If it becomes necessary to use a program like this, go to Help2Go and let them tell you what to do with it. Again, that usually will not be needed if you follow the steps above. They will fix most problems.

ALSO, BE CAREFUL about unchecking things in msconfig > Startup unless you know what you're unchecking. Some of those are not needed, but others are. If in doubt, go to a computer help forum and ask what you can uncheck.
