I have XP Media Center Edition fully updated. I keep having a problem with delays when calling from one program to another. For example, when I click on a link in Eudora, my email program, Eudora will freeze for several minutes before the link opens up. Similarly, if I click on a file it takes several minutes for it to open the program and then the file within it. Sometimes if I reboot, I won't have this problem for awhile, but it always comes back. Other programs continue to work fine when this happens.1 person needs an answerI do too

Possibly you have too many things running in the background taking up processing power. Start with the basics and post back with answers/results for further help. The First Question Of Troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't? The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this? Be sure the computer is clean: http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware If the computer is malware-free, try clean-boot troubleshooting to see what is running.
