My computer is one huge problem.

These problems have only started happening today.

Internet explorer windows, firefox windows, msn messenger, they are all closing randomly with no warning ( yet teh msn icon remains in the taskbar!?) When i open them as i have just done they have juste closed again, im surrpised this window is still open.

hahaha. No not on this thing, it'd take a lifetime to attempt doing a defrag..... It'll never happen. Ive tried it a few times with no luck... nah i'd be quicker doing a full factory re-set on this thing ...

Thanks anyway.

ETA : Its stopped now btw, like it started randomly and it stopped randomly. hasnt happened since. :s
