Re: PC Help
This is often caused by a background process which fails to terminate correctly. Have you installed anything new (or removed anything) just before the problem began?

Re: PC Help
Type System restore in the search option of your start menu.
Her's a quite clear run down of what to do.

Well go to the globe start menu type in system and select system restore. Then wait because it will auto choose most recent restore point. Click from below " choose a different restore point " look to the day before problem and get back with result
