Hi-
I did a new hard drive install after a crash last week....reloaded XP
Home....did restores....and have been tweaking this machine ever since.
Issue #1: Yesterday, suddenly the machine began to run very slow,
specifically opening some programs and files. I did several Windows updates
yesterday, and sometime after that, the issue surfaced. I tried to do a
System Restore and after restart was notifed that the restore did not "take"
and that nothing had been changed. I went to an earlier date and had the
same results. I have the minimum programs running at Windows startup, so
that's not the issue. Issue #2: I've had a couple of my desktop icons
disappear and when I went to the directory to create a new shortcut the
.exe. file was not there. Had to reload the program. Issue #3:
Periodically my monitor screen goes black for a second or
so....recovers.....then repeats itself.....then recovers. Running SP Home,
SP2, 512MB Ram.
Am running Norton 360 which finds no issues; AVG Anti Spyware, also.
Thanks. pinger

a free download from Microsoft of Process Explorer, which can show the
CPU load of every application, service and other process running and
what program a process belongs to, plus much more detailed information
if you drill down. A review of what's running could be very useful.
