greetings,
i'll try to keep this short. several months ago, i was having problems with IE. Meaning I would click the icon and any random amount of minutes later, (mostly 5 or more, it would finally open. Come to find out i had a virus and fixed the problem and had no more problems with IE.
Which brings me to my problem. Since then, I have placed electronic condoms on everything in my system...firewall, spyware removal appz, virus software, etc.
At any rate, I had ACDsee as a image viewer and utility and it started doing the same thing. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but got the same thing.
So, i went back older school with a program called thumbs plus. Up till yesterday, it was working fine and now having the same problem with it. Have'nt reinstalled yet, but just curious what could be causing this problem. It seems it only does it with image viewer editing programs and nothing else thus far seems to be having a problem.
help would be appreciated.
