A funny thing happens now where my internet explorer will start fine, i can open folders ok, but anything like exe. mp3 or avi files will not startup, even though they are shown as running in the Close Program box??? This happens every now and again. Please Help.

If they are in the Close Program box then windows tried to load them but was unable and they are likely to stop responding. My guess is the program that opens them (winamp or windows media player) has a problem and you may want to reinstall it.
