52358 2002-06-04 05:39:00 Sounds like you might need to give your PC a good clean. But not the dust pan and brush kind.

Click on the 'Start' button and and select Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Scandisk. Select Automatically Fix Errors, and begin.

Scandisk will search your computer for errors, and pave the way for...

Disk Defragmenter.
Click on the Start button again, and select Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter

This program will rearrange all your files so that the computer starts up faster and runs programs more efficiently. It might take a while, so leave the computer on while you go to work or watch TV for instance.

Hopefully, this will help!
