Did this happen recently? If if so try a system restore, always works for me. 1.Click Start. 2.Point to All Programs. 3.Point to Accessories. 4.Point to System Tools. 5.Click System Restore. 6.Follow the instructions on the wizard. 7.Pick a date when everything was working fine

Also make sure that any spyware/adware/virus tools you use also sweep your system restore files otherwise any bugs may not be fully detected and deleted. Also might want to add Webroot Spy Sweeper to the list as well. Look for the free scan link on the right. http://www.webroot.com/consumer/products/spysweeper/?WRSID=1d876e5f463af1ec6ad01858458c2c57 Also once all these files are downloaded and updated make sure you are not online when you scan.
