    - scanpm.exe Today, my computer starting running scan disk over and over again. A tool bar appeared out of nowhere that shows a "scanpm" and scanpm.exe file. I can't seem to get rid of it and my computer keeps crashing. I ran scandisk standard check in safemode. When I tried to run a thorough check, it said that it keeps restarting because a program is running in the background. I can't figure out what is running. I also ran McAfee in safemode to check for viruses. It found no infected files. Then,I tried to do a system restore, but it said there was insufficient space. I don't know what this scanpm is or where it came from. It seems to be a dos program. Can anyone help. Tag: Cursor Temporarily Freezes Tag: 216326

    - Programs take long time to start When I startup the computer, and after WinMe starts, sometimes it takes like 30 sec. for ZoneAlarm, and then my internet connection s/w to start. And it's not only that, another fps game I have, and another program or two, sometimes take 30sec-1min to start. No activity during these periods. It seems to always be the same few programs, and I've tried reinstalling them. Any ideas? Thx. Tag: Cursor Temporarily Freezes Tag: 216324

    - Problem with e-mail I am hoping someone can help me. I did a virus scan on my computer the other day and had a win32.Benny.6382. Mcafee was little help but now my scan is coming up clean EXCEPT when I do a free one on line. But now when I go to my outlook express I get a message that says MSIMN has caused an error in kernel32.dll. Msimn will now close. I can't send e-mails and i don't have anytime to read e-mails before that message comes up. I went through my HP help icon but I get an error that says HTTP error 404 and my virus scan icon comes on about suspious activity. Mcafee is no longer helping me because htey say I have no virus, HP I can't get in touck with and Verizon had me reinstall my outlook and I got no where. Now they say the virus may have done some damage and they suggested I come here. PLease keep in my that I know little about the computers except how to check my e-mail. Thanks for any help you may be to me. Tag: Cursor Temporarily Freezes Tag: 216323

    - Address Book Each time I make a change to Address Book (c:\program files\outlook express\wab.exe\ Version 6.0.2800.1123)and then exit, an icon is written to the desktop whose target is a file, c:\windows\desktop\~\. This icon is written immediately after the address book window closes. The file, ~ , is written and is on the desktop. If you examine this file with notepad, it appears to hold a copy of the information in my address book. Scanning the file with a virus checker yields "No Virus Present". This file appears to be written at various other times like re- starts, etc. I've deleted this file on many instances but it keeps re-appearing. New versions are written each time address book is altered. I would appreciate any info on what this is - what it is part of - why it is present - why it exists.... any of these!!!! Especially - how do I stop it and get rid of the source which is writing it??? HCP Tag: Cursor Temporarily Freezes Tag: 216279

    - Automatic System Restore The automatically updating or creating of new checkpoints doesn't work. It never creates new checkpoints by its self. The manual checkpoint creation and restoration works fine without any problems. Where does the system restore program reside for automatic activation?

If I turn it off via the Control Panel, then I lose all of my manual checkpoints and turning it back on doesn't restore its automatic feature. Tag: Cursor Temporarily Freezes Tag: 216266

When I point and click on a link my screen often
temporarily freezes for 15 seconds or so after I click and
then the page finally downloads. I am running a fairly
fast cable modem connection which otherwise works well so
I think it might be something in the operating system.
Any ideas?

Thank you
