after my comp has been on for a couple hours or something... it wont let me open new windows (or programs)... or get new text to come up...such as like right clicking on desktop...

a fix to this is to close out all the windows (or programs) then it will let me open new windows (or programs) again... i dunno what it is.. its weird...

anyone know a fix?

I think the newest patches fuxxor'd up my IE java.

I can't even get on to play games on Playsite anymore.

I get errors.
