Sometimes computers like to go haywire when there is an abundance of useless information laying around in memory You can fix this problem by running the disk defragmenter Click on Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Deframent Be patient for this will take some time Simply follow the instructions on the monitor to begin the defragment and you should be well on your way You might as well run the Disk Cleanup after the defragment is complete which is also located in the System Tools just to be on the safe side Good Luck!!
