Peggy,

Just a bit of background, any new hardware? Downloads?
Installs, or changes to the system right before this
started happening??

Also so you have a firewall and Anti-virus package?

Regards

No new hardware. I downloaded a trial version of Adobe PhotoShop CS from Adobe.com and have been using that for about a week in a half to two weeks. It has been working fine. I have Spybot Search and Destroy that I have tried to run on several occasions but it only gets so far in its scan for problems then it hangs up and doesn't finish. I also noticed that on the task manager that it says that my cpu usage is 100%. I rebooted before I left home this morning and just left the computer to come up and my daughter called me later and said that when it came back up my document folder just opened all on its on. I have windows xp so I enabled the that firewall several months ago when I got the sasser worm and had to go thru the steps to get that worm off my computer. Oh my anti-virus software has expired but I haven't tried to run a scan.
