I am having a strange problem with XP that I can not
figure out. After a reboot the computer works fine. But
after about 15 min some programs will no longer load.
Some of those programs are: task manager, symantic anti
virus, volume control and others. If I click the icon or
exe it seems to do nothing, but when I check task manager
it shows the program running as many times as I clicked
the icon or exe. I have run
both Ad-aware and Spy-bot, and also have run anti-virus
with
latest defs. I did find some spyware and removed it but
still same problem. Any ideas??

Thanks,
Joe
