Sounds like you may have a virus. Scan your computer. If you don't find the problem, do the following.

Go to Microsoft and download and install Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender. MSE will want you to remove any other anti-virus programs that you are using, but I have found that BOTH of the M$ programs work BETTER than them and are FREE!

My PC used to lag at startup using Norton AV. Once I installed MSE it found a worm and now it starts up FAST! Do a FULL SCAN with MSE!

If you have further problems please post them in the General Discussions Forum. This forum is for Qbasic questions only.
