Thanks, but that didn't work - I downloaded the latest driver for my video adapter - which is an ATI Rage IIC - and it still does the same thing. Right now, I'm ok as long as I don't shut my system down. Any more ideas?

REMOVE SPACES blah blah blah....URL

I've lost track of how many times I have done all that, and it still has not worked yet.

You have a corrupted help file most likely in Microsoft. run scandisk. If this doesnt work you could have a virus at work. Hope this helps it did me when I had the same problem.... After you defrag and run scandisk you might want to reinstall windows from windows. This might work as well.....
