Hi,
I have searched this forum yesterday for several hours but could not find any one with the same problem as I have.
I will try to describe the problem. I have bought my computer (desktop PC) in january this year and everything worked fine. No crashes, no freezing etc. Several weeks ago the problem first came up: after working for a while (doesn't matter on which program) I can't open any other programs any more. When I start for example Word you see something is happening (hourglass running for a second) then nothing. The window does not open. When I check in the task manager, Word is shown as running process. The same counts for every program I want to open. Only rebooting the system helps. After reboot I can open all programs I want to. But it happens from time to time (not always!) that after a while the problem occurs again. Yesterday it occured about 4 times.
Before rebooting I have to end the not working proces in the task manager. Otherwise it is impossible to shut down the computer. It stucks then at "logging off" (sorry I have a Dutch Windows so I don't know exactly how this is called in english. In Dutch it is "Afmelden"). All I can do then is push the power button for 5 seconds to shut the computer down.
I hope you can help me as this is making me crazy!
Sorry for my bad English, I am from the Netherlands.
