Hi,

I am assuming that you are running WindowsXP since you are posting in
this Newsgroup.
What I would suggest is boot into safe mode and run a complete Virus
scan to see if it could be causing this issue.

How many days ago did this problem first occur?

You might try System Restore in Safe Mode and use a restore point from
before the problem first occurred.
