When clicking on an icon in Quick Launch (right of Start button),
my HD light goes through it's usual flicker and then stops
completely for about 7-10 seconds before flickering again and
then opens the application (IE5, or Outlook Express, etc.).

When reading mail, again there's a pause after clicking on an
email until it opens. Subsequent emails open without delay.

When I'm on a web site that has a form to fill out, I'm able to
fill in the first blank (i.e., First Name) but I get a delay in
being able to place my cursor into the next blank (i.e., Last
Name) and, within the last 3-4 days this action causes the PC to
freeze.

Something strange is happening and I'd be grateful for any
insight to fix my newly activated "Delay in Response Syndrome."
