Art,this is a common problem with xp, most likely you have programs or spys running
in the background, you need to check your startup items to see what programs are
running. then eliminate the ones you dont want to run. go to "run" on the start menu
then type "msconfig" you will get a tabbed window. go to the tab that says startup,
and uncheck the programs you dont want to start up with windows. if you get rid of
somthing you want back just simply repeat the process. without further information
i can only suggest this as a starting place to clean up you computer.
