Hi! I just bought a Win XP Professional. After using it for some time I started to notice the following problem: After finishing the starting up process normally, when I click on the broadband desktop icon I have to wait for about 20/30 seconds for the proper window to appear and then click connect and I'm logged in. After this one of two things happen. Either the computer works normally and I can open all the programs and folders (including the internet explorer) or, on the contrary, everything freezes when I click on 2 or 3 icons. When this happens, I usually chose the option to shutdown or restart the computer but still no response. However, after 2 or 3 minutes of waiting, the programs whose icons I clicked open all at the same time, followed by the computer shutdown that I also clicked as I said. Normally after reopening it works properly. Can you please give me some tips of what's going wrong with it? Thank you.
