Lately, when i click on the quick launch toolbar to open a program it either takes forever to open up, or i have to click it a couple of times for it to open. this is for all programs on the quick launch bar. (IE, Opera, Thunderbird and Firefox). Then when a program finally opens when i close it out i get the "Program not responding" Box popping up. When i finally get the program closed i get the ..Do i want to report the error message box popping up. The only thing i recently installed is the McAfee anti virus and firewall program (offered by comcast cable.) Even before this program was installed i was starting to have this problem. I did a defrag, ran virus and trojan programs, whatever i could. I even cleaned the PC fan ( which was suggested on the internet ).. has any one had this problem?...if so please let me know what to do.

May be you want to keep the desktop clean, but I use the Quick Launch toolbar for only one program. Otherwise, I use shortcuts on the Desktop.
Have you tried individual shortcuts? I don't think that it should matter, but what do I know? If everything is slowing you down, there must be some bottle neck (Temp files?). Previous antivirus, or antispyware program?
I have had WinXP for two years, and I am finding some perplexing things about it (see my next post)
