Please, Please let me know if you figure out what is happening to your system! Mine has done the exact same thing....in the last week or so. I have performed system restores, removed software, taken everything off the program startup list. I have done everything except for reformat my machine and reinstall Windows. Mine also does some really funny stuff like bringing up the "shut down/restart" window while I'm typeing a letter. Pretty wierd. The computer manufacturer wants to tell me I don't have enough memory but I've got 1 gig of memory for a small office machine. I think my machine has just got demons or something. Please help if you discover a remedy.
