quick question..

[Rob423]

Friend of mine called last night, and said his computer is freezing constantly for some reason..

it will boot, and load fully, but the minute he'll try to say ex: click AOL, start menu, anything, ... he says you see the hour glass and just sits there and hangs.... he said he checked the task manager and says the CPU, and Memory Usage is fine, ... what could be the problem, ..

look into it alittle further or just immediatly do a Fresh Instal
