Hi Asa,  
  
Let's try some basic troubleshooting.  If the problem still persists  
  
please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! :-)  
  
1. To see if it's a software conflict:  Temporarily disable Startup  
  
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad  
  
blockers using this utility: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml  
  
or this method: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php  
  
You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:

2.   Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then  
  
install MS AntiSpyware from: www.microsoft.com/spyware  to  
  
remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.  
  
3.  Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties  
  
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run  
  
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
