About Lorry
Expertise
I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

Experience
This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.

Answer
Hi Fina,

Try opening Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, under the General tab click Delete Cookies, Delete Files, and Clear History. Defrag and reboot.

When opening the program(s) in question, try not having any other programs running, it could be a memory propblem.

Hope this helps!
Lorry
