Cursor Temporarily Freezes
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

apparently nonfunctional.
-keypad generally works except: "-" key is now "*", "*" is
nonfunctional, numlock doesn't turn off, "+" is also
now "*", and "Enter" is now "+".
Can't find any fixes on Google...any help out there?
Appreciate it thanks. Tag: screen Tag: 216331

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: screen 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: screen 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: screen 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???

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? I don't see it the
Scheduled Tasks in the Control Panel pane. 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: screen Tag: 216266
