thing else I can try!!

Assuming the only thing you have tried is a virus scan with Norton (some
unknown version - because you did not state it) - then yeah - there is a lot
you can do.

1) Describe what you have...
- Operating System
- Service Pack level
- Patches applied
- Applications
- Amount of Memory
- Processor speed
- Hard disk drive (full size and free space)

2) Describe what you have running...
- AntiVirus software
- AntiSpyware software
- Popup blockers
- Any other third party software you have running at all times

3) How many users are on this computer?
- Do all demonstrate the same trouble?
- If you create a new user - do they have the same trouble?

4) Better describe what you mean by "every other". I get this impression
from your paniced statement...

" I open notepad... No problem. But themn i cannot open Wordpad. I close
notepad and can open Wordpad - but then I cannot open notepad."

.... every other.

5) What have you actually done to try and remedy it? Don't leave out
anything.
