SteveB,
I have exactly the same probs as you, with same messages and 'no solution'
etc.. I have a new Fujitsu Siemens Laptop running Vista. (I was happy with
Windows 98, then I got used to XP pro, but I don't really get the advantages
of Vista). Anyway, I used to use Zone Alarm on my Desktop running XP, but I
haven't sullied the laptop with it. I find I get the problem usually within
the first 15 minutes of starting up. It seems to stabilise after a few hours.
But it still unnerves me and I'm fed up with losing stuff and having to start
again.

Whoever finally finds an answer, please post with Capital Letters so I don't
miss it.
I'm only pleased to find out that I 'm not the only person in the whole
world with this problem. Should I click that your post was 'helpful'?
