Re: They're sorry for the inconvenience

Alan,
In reference to your points,
This problem affects several programs, some of which are relatively new to
my system, and some of which have been installed for quite some time. I will
try and time the event with respect to system startup and program startup.
My system came with Windows XP Home Edition SP2. I have the McAfee suite
installed and running, updated almost daily. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll
check out that timing thing.
