This is the problem that I used to encounter number of times. Then I went for Windows update and installed some critical updates as suggested by the web site after scanning my computer.\n\nIts going to be a week that I have not yet faced any crash.

Yep you've got some sort of spyware / adware running there.  Update your system, use Microsoft's Adware removal tool then scan with a variety of adware removers like AdAware and Spybot.\n\nYou need to scan multiple times because some will miss a file that another will pick up.  Also, try using some virus protection.

Go to C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/History and clear all files over there. This will help you out.

Also you may try and do this:\n\nStart > Run \nType in MSCONFIG\nGo to Startup, and uncheck the programs on start up (I find that helps)\n\nAlso in the right corner on the tasbar I Disable/Exit a few of those programs - running in the background

first do you have a antivirus, antispyware, firewall on your computer. You have to get them if you do not already have, then you will not have this problem. \n\nhttp://yanswers.blogspot.com/2006/10/essential-free-internet-security.html\n\nIf you use a registry editor program like regscrubXP then find the entry of OuterInfo in it and remove it, then the trouble will automatically go away. You can also use ccleaner for that purpose\nFree RegScrubXP registry cleaner\nhttp://www.sofotex.com/RegScrubXP-download_L7528.html\n\nFree Crap Cleaner ccleaner\nhttp://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

There is a program running that is taking up resources to cause this.  Try a virus scan and spyware scan.  If you don't have antivirus or spyware removal tools try the links below.  You may also want to try to defragment your hard drive.

run spybot serach and detroy\nalso run AVG and this will clear all that up if you are running windows its safe that you boot up into safe mode and install the programs and scan your computer that way nothing is trying to acces those files

best way is to remove and re-instal the program which is creating the problem. to remove a "normal" (not Office for example) program, go to start, control panel, add or remove programs, and select the offending programs. Re-install a version you trust

The answer is that you can safely delete everything in that folder. It is the place where all the programs you have ever installed leave garbage, like installers and logs of activity.\n\nIf you are new to this sort of thing, try to find your Temporary Internet Files, which are a cache of all the web pages you have ever visited that make your computer load web pages faster. They suck disk space if you don't clean them regularly, and if you don't want a list of EVERY site you visit on your computer you have cause for concern. They'r hidden here: \nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;{Insert Your User Name Here}&#92;Local Settings&#92;Temporary Internet Files\n\nIgnore the drive D thing. That's probably Windows Recovery, which mirrors your regular architecture so you can restore the whole thing if you do something foolish, like delete the whole Temporary folder and not just the contents.

make sure they are not stored on a removable drive and aren't in hidden or readonly folders

Sounds like spyware/malware. In Start / Run / type msconfig\n/ OK / In Startup tab, search for reference to the file and\nuntick it / Restart.\n\nDo you regularly run Ad-Aware and Spybot? If not, get free\ndownloads he\n\nAd-Awa\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n\nSpybot:\nhttp://www.spybot.info/

Yeah u probably have spyware running even if u dont want it. Im not sure, but try ctrl+alt+del, go to proceeseess, and see if there are any processes not running under SYSTEM, that seem suspicious. If you end a process, it will immediatly stop. Also, try searching your program files directory  and see if anything  got installed that seems suspicious.

close everything else out on the taskbar that you can  but first run antispy from yahoo and maybe the virus scanner  and clean the  disk and do a defrag a couple of times these things can get busy and lose their  processor power  but the other day i  watched a computer hard drive be eaten by a worm and some trojans it just lost all function as the hard drive was overwritten
