Answer 1

you'll need to be more thorough. What OS are you running and what are the specs of your computer, Right click on my computer and go to properties

What applications are you speaking of?

Answer 2

Try to get to C drive (whether it be thru My Computer icon or whatever and then right click on C drive and go to Properties, then go to tools/error checking and then check off the 2 boxes that appear and then hit start, yes and OK when it tells you that the computer must be restarted for the action to take place.   Once all the boxes have been cleared with your agreement, then you click on the Start button, and Restart the computer and go grab a coffee while it does its thing.

    This in itself may clear up the problems you are having.  It is the safest thing to do.

Answer 3

this kind of happens to me too sometimes..... when I have nor used a tab, that is maybe a Yahoo page of some sort, or any web page really.... it's only my online stuff.  My Documents and all that... they all open and shut quick like they should.

When it happens like when closing them, it seems to take a little longer than it should.. but in a minute or so it does close..... i have WIldBlue highspeed internet, and it works great...... but sometimes it just happens....

don't know if that helps any, but thought i would say it does happen to me as well, but only on the web, not my own things on my pc.

Good Luck!
