Re: Problems running Appliactions

I ran a virus scan, no virus.

Once the program does open, it runs ok, but getting it to open takes forever.

How to I solve this?

Please respond. THANKS A MILLION!

Hi,

Have you run a scan looking for spyware?
Try with ad-aware and spybot, after updating them:
Ad-aware

Spybot S&D

You could also go to Start > Run > msconfig
start up tab
disable all entries and reboot, if the problem disappears, then enable
them one at a time.

Good luck
