xp problem
Try running Disk Defragmenter. It can be found off Start, All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools. When a HDD gets deeply fragmented, the system will slow down and this may be the cause of your problem. -- Regards, Len Segal, MCP Microsoft - MVP -------------- My reply address is intentionally wrong to reduce SPAM Email.

I have Professional XP (upgraded from Home XP) on a Compaq presario 700 laptop. Since yesterday morning I am having a strange and frustrating problem with my system. When I click on some icon to start the program, it just wont start .. If I click like 20 times continuously then it will start eventually (After taking a lot of time) - but then all the 20 clicks will start 20 applications running. I dont know what to do - There is nothing that I did that should give this problem. Can anyone suggest some remedies that I can try? Thanks, KL. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
