Programs wont load, icons disappear

I have the strangest problem with my XP system. The computer seems to boot up
fine, but when I click on an icon to load a program, the icons on my desktop
all disappear for a moment, then come back, and the program won't load. After
many attempts, I may be able to get something like I-Tunes up and running.
But after clicking on a song, or moving around the screen, the program will
abruptly shut down and take me back to the main desktop. Through all of this,
I get NO warning or explaination.. no error messages, nothing at all. I can't
click on control panel to see a log... the computer just stares at me. I have
up to date anti-virus software, adaware, etc. Any thoughts???

I would guess you have some damaged system files. Try running :
SFC /SCANNOW
or do a repair XP setup.

Stalking is a Crime
Stalking charges are serious and

You're not being cute in that name you're posting with, it's too easy to
see that you're still stalking me.

I said if you didn't want me to post the warning about you and your
actions you needed to take my name out of your posts - you're still
being unethical butts.

You sick f$ck, I did that to prove a point. You lied when you told everyone
you would stop stalking me if I took your name out of my sig and email. I
did that against my better judgment after initially refusing to do so even
after all the emails I got telling me to try it and see. As a favor to
Microsoft, because your sick a$$ was disrupting their groups, I changed it.
They also told me that if I change it and you continue to stalk me they will
ban you. Your sorry a$$ name is nowhere in my sig or email address now leave
me the f$ck alone you sick bastard.

No, you did not take my name out of your messages, you spelled it
backwards - that makes you unethical and still stalking me.

I have asked you to remove my name from any part of your messages and I
would not post about you - you didn't, not once, and you played proved
that you can't stop commenting about me.

You are dishonest and unethical to the max Chris. The offer still
stands, remove my name from your posts and I won't be forced to defend
my name - period.

The MS Newsgroup admin is NOT going to ban me, they've already started
deleting your posts from their servers and they've asked you to stop
using MVP in your name.
