I'll start out with telling you my specs:
P4 1.7, winXP HE (all updates downloaded), GeForce2 MX400, 512mb RAM
Recently things have really become wierd...when I fill out forms in IE things are really slow to show up, for example from when I said "IE to where I said "example" I could see any of my new test. Every once in a while random words just show up like "and " and "when " My OpenGL windows XP screen saver used to run really smoothly, but now it is super choppy. Windows sometimes appear all white and take a while for everything to show up. I do a virus scan. Right after I typed "scan" it inserted "the " and when i typed "typed" it made a few random characters show up. When I start my comp, the everything stops for about 30 seconds, and when I put the mouse over the taskbar I get an hourglass, but nothing is happening. Any ideas??? Please help!!!
