        I don't think my problem is from KB 840374. My problem has been
happening for 3-4 days, and I installed 840374 just yesterday.
        It's not hard drive -- when I boot to the other drive, I can use
the C drive to read and write and run programs, all without any
problem.
        I've been through all the virtus and bot scans, and nothing turns
up. I don't think it's malware; I practice "safe hex."
        It doesn't match up with my application errors. I checked the
log and found errors in explorer, internet explorer, zuma, feeding
frenzy, and family tree maker, as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Faulting application
        explorer.exe, version 6.0.2800.1106, faulting module
winhlp32.dll, version 1.6.0.0,
        feedingfrenzy.exe, version 2.4.2.2, faulting module unknown,
version 0.0.0.0,
        explorer.exe, version 6.0.2800.1106, faulting module ntdll.dll,
version 5.1.2600.1217,
        iexplore.exe, version 6.0.2800.1106, faulting module unknown,
        ftw.exe, version 10.0.331.0, faulting module ntdll.dll, version
5.1.2600.1106,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

        But the hiccups happen a lot -- and there's only a few
application errors.

????? What to do?????
