Taskbar freezes!
Last night, my taskbar froze 3 times in 3 hours. To switch between open programs, I had to use alt+tab, because nothing happened if I tried to click the taskbar. The clock froze too and I couldn't click the start button to restart the computer and it also wouldn't work if I tried to do so through the keyboard. I also couldn't see my desktop; I tried to minimize all the windows I had open. At first, the last window wouldn't minimize; but then, when I had only 2 open, I tried to shrink them instead of minimizing. It was possible to shrink both; however, I had a kind of "ghost" of one of the windows convering my whole desktop. When I tried to move one of the smaller windows, it left behind some sort of blur, with the shape of the window.
I don't know if it is connected, but nearly 30 minutes before the taskbar freezing for the 1st time, I installed grokster... or tried to. It wasn't possible, because my anti-virus deleted one file necessary for the instalation; it said it contained some malicious code...
I uninstalled grokster and nearly every single program grokster installed. I also ran an anti-virus (F-secure, updated 3 days ago) and found I had 3 infected files, which I deleted immediately. Since then, the taskbar has not frozen again.
Another thing that hapened recentely was that my motherboad had to be changed. The old one "burned" and I was told that getting a new board and not formatting the HD (which I didn't) could cause problems.
My windows is the XP Professional edition. Also, ever since I got the new board I've been getting an error each time I start my pc. It's something like:
16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem
C:\ WINDOWS\system\svchost.exe
The CPU NTVDM has found the following illegal instruction.
CS:06a8 IP:ffeb OP:ff ee ff 00 02 Choose "Close" to end the
application.
Close Ignore
Any thoughts?
Thank you
