I need some help from someone who knows a lot about computers. My computer has suddenly started acting odly. As soon as I turn my machine on when it is loaded I go to start > settings > network connections to connect to the internet, but each time I did so, the start menu froze, as did the task bar along the bottom of the screen - however I could still use desktop icons and stuff.

I kept re-setting and evetually the problem went away. However now every time I try and use Microsoft Paint the same thing happens now. I have just defragemnted and it is still being really weird. My hard drive isn't full to bursting (79% free space) - I dont have any crap like Kazaa still on my comp and I dont have any dodgy pirate software. I havent installed anything recently and this problem seems to have come out of nowhere!

Help!

I wanted to crop an image so I could set it as my wallpaper. I know you can use paintshop etc to do it but paint is just simpler!

Im just going to ask, why would you want to use paint?

And I know as much as you when it comes to the freeze thing.
