random problems loading programs in xp... Friday, October 28, 2005 at 10:29 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by midson (6 messages posted) Does anyone else have the same problem as me? I've been having this problem often with certain programs -- I'll try to run it, it won't load. I try to run it again, then it loads. Five minutes later, the original click loads it as well. If I run task manager when this happens it will show that the memory block is something like 56k, so I terminate it. It then works after I do that. For instance, I just shut down and reloaded outlook express 3 times. On the fourth time I tried to load it, it didn't load. It did the 56k thing. It also happens sometimes to WinRAR. And it has always happened with this appraisal software that I just installed.... in fact, the appraisal software loads a huge pagefile which completely hinders my system. I hope I explained it correctly, or made some sense of it. Anyone have similar problems? I suspect it could be my firewall, although it still happens with the other software when I disable it...
