Thanks Manasa for your response.I do not get an error message when this happens.I am using MSNI have had this problem for a month or so. I do not recall making any changes to my system prior to this starting. Added information is I am currently trying to load TurboTax and when the software is loading, it will cause the above mentioned problem every time.I will look at what files you have provided to trouble shoot this problem.
