Hi, this sounds like a registry problem. Have you fixed any registry errors recently?

Try doing a system restore to before the problem started.

The quickest and easiest way, if the problem just started, is to use system restore.

It is also wise to always back up the registry (the brain of your OS), in the event of a problem you can always return to good times.

System restore will not cause a problem. All your personal documents are safe. You may have to reinstall a program; little effort for a big gain.
