I have already tried that and it is still freezing up.
My computer freezes up once it has booted and while the window washer tries to come on, also the spyware screen comes up. The window washer screen says a problem has occurred with it and I need to reinstall it. But the keyboard will not respond at this point and I can not close the spyware box that has come up behind the window washer alert box. I can't close the window washer box. At that point nothing is going on because I cannot get the mouse to move or any buttons that I push either. I have tried escape, delete,, I have tried alt, control, delete. No response until I depress the power button and shut the computer down.
1. What computer make and model
2. Are you using WinME <-- WinME does that all the time with NO reason - need to upgrade or downgrade if that is the case
3. Installed anything new ? Software or Hardware
4. When did this first start happening?
