    WTF... why is this happening?

    i've never even heard of this happening before... but for some reason, no matter what web browser I use, when using forms on a webpage, when I switch in between the fields, or click off the field and come back, my whole computer freezes for about 15-30 seconds.. same thing happens when i click any submit button.
    this is really slowing me down, almost a whole minute just to log in to check my email, about 3 minutes to use a gallery submit form.
    it took 20 seconds just to switch between the subject and message field in this post

    anyone have any idea what could be causing this, or any clue how to fix it without re-installing everything?
    it happens on every browser, IE, Netscape, AOL, even the mini-browsers inside winamp and g.a.s.s.

                  shit i've had win.cih on every computer i've owned in the past 7 years.. and i've never seen this. win.cih is the chernobyl virus that goes off on the anniversary of that nuclear meltdown. april 26th i think... i better check though, just cuz its april.

                  ram... i dunno... i've had the same two 256's in there for about 9 months now.. seems like more of a software problem to me... because it only happens in web browsers. any other program is fine.

                                                  First www.symantec.com and run their online scanner...

                                                  then try reinstalling windows over the existing copy to refresh it. Sometimes you have to go back and reinstall the patches etc...

                                                  Then: start->settings->control panel->add/remove software-> choose IE and click remove and a box should pop up with an option to rebuild, chose that and see if it helps...

                                                  Do each of these one at a time and reboot in between. Check to see if that step fixed it too...

                                                  I assume you dump cache, empty trash and defrag regularly? Regularly does NOT translate to weeks and weeks between doing it... At LEAST do that weekly, twice a week is even better

                                                      i'm tempted to backup all my shit on about 100 cds and format c:
