I can start my computer....and access word documents and games. However after about 10 minutes I get regular interuptions to what ever program i am working in. I will be typing away and then bang..out of word..have to click back in and then sure enough 3 or 4 minutes later same thing....continually. It also interupts any game i may be playing in the same manner. I have searched for spyware etc...and have switched off windows updates..i am at a loss!!! very frustrated. also my internet explorer windows always open in very tiny windows with just the bar and the mini, max, close buttons showing...... HELP ME, pleeeease.

Nulljet, I had a dropper virus cause a similar problem once and didn't find it until I ran an online scan from trendmicro. It takes a while but it is worth it. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Another thing that can cause this is over heating. You may need to get some canned air,open the case and blow the dust bunnies out. If you have never done it be sure to unplug the power cord and hold the can upright to prevent the propellant from wetting down the electrical components. ---jabuck
