You have given us only limited information about your system. While the
problem might be with software, I have had similar problems when a hard disk
was failing. If your hardware supports S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics, check to see
if there are any failures there. Assuming you are running Windows XP, you
might also look in the system log files to see if there are any clues to the
failure. To view the log files, use Event Viewer which you may access
through the control panel, or by doing Start/Run/eventvwr.msc
Good luck.

I need help: I am starting to get the "not responding" when I open a file
that was created using "Word". Quite often I get it with Internet explorer.
Now I am stuck, I cannot open my files.
Most of the time the Ctrl+Alt+Delete does not work. I have to disconnect the
power off my laptop.
I have Avast 4.7, Spyware Terminator, System Protect, and Verizon Firewall
turned on.
Thank you in advance for your help: Benoit.
