every day, my pc gets overloaded. For example, I'll open a word document then close it. When I go into Task Manager, I will sometimes see 2 or more instances of Word still open.
This also happens with Internet Explorer.
I just did a complete reinstall to a fresh formatted hard drive because of the same problem thinking that might do the trick but I am continuing to have the same problem.
I have 1 gig physical memory and as per Task Mgr, I never use up anywhere close to all of it. I am operating with Win2000.
I did a Memory Diagnostic test and that came up OK. CPU usage generally stays pretty low with the exception when I initiall start an application.
The only think I can think of is that the Hard Drive is starting to go. What do you think? Ask me questions, if needed about my system and I will respond. Thanks.
I MSConfiged and only the necessary programs start up on boot.
I've made sure that there is no spyware or viruses so that is not the problem.
