a few programs quit responding everytime i try to run them.
two are poker room programs. ultimatebet , and absolute poker.
but that it is not the only things that are not right.
it takes a long time for windows to shut down. and some other apps stop responding or get hung , when i shut windows down.
i went back to a restore point a few days earlier, and the poker rooms worked for a while. then stopped.
so i did another system restore but it didn't help.
i uninstalled absolute poker and reinstalled it to no avail.
this all started when i used windows one care live.
i can't tell if it is a firewall problem, spyware, or a system problem.
i have used ad-aware, and jv 16 power tools to try and find a solution.
any thoughts
