Okay, so off and on my computer freezes, the mouse goes to the upper left hand corner, and it cannot move so I am forced to turn it off and back on again. Sometimes the screen simply goes black and I have to do the same thing. Recently it can no longer access certain webpages i.e , yahoo.com, tvguide.com but can access others just fine i.e. this site, google etc. This applies to all browsers I have tried including IE, firefox, opera, etc. I have a brand new IBM Thinkpad T60 that has worked fine until recently. I run Windows XP, and have attached my hijack this file so any help you guys could give would be great. thanks.

oh, and my symantec antivirus just popped up that i had a possible threat, win25.tmp.exe and a couple other ones, but i was able to delete them manually. Dunno if this helps at all

I also tried a system restore at various restore points and it goes through the process and reboots, but then I get the message "Cannot restore to such and such a date" and accomplishes nothing...

sorry to keep adding to this, lol, but after waiting for several minutes these pages may load, but they load in a simple text format, almost as if i was browsing from a cell phone. maybe some setting got changed?

anyone??
