For a while, I've been experiencing problems with my computer. Occasionally it freezes, and goes unresponsive for minutes. After that, all the text I'm trying to read basically "mutates". By that I mean letters get jumbled around, sometimes they disappear, etc. I can still read paragraphs/posts on forums; it's just buttons/bubbles I can't read. A good example of that is when you right click an image. Usually, you have options such as "View Image", "View Image Location", etc. After my computer has frozen, they mostly become "_", "-", or just a blank space. Another example is when you hover over a contact on MSN. For me, most of the letters have just disappeared. I have scanned my computer with Avast, and did not find any viruses or worms.

Lately, my msn has been acting up. Whenever I try signing in, my computer freezes (like above) for a couple of minutes. After that, it signs me out. Most of the time, I can sign in fine after, but I can't see any of my contacts. This is because the above problem.

I am most likely going to reformat my computer soon (when I get the money), but it would be nice to get some help now. I've been stuck using online messangers for a while, and they really suck. So these are my problems.

1. Computer freezing and texts becoming unreadable.
2. Computer freezing when signing onto MSN.

If someone could help me, it would greatly be appreciated.

First I would run a defrag, try using a program called "JKDefrag", run it and then after that type in the cmr "chkdsk /r" and reboot

restart your computer and go to bios then set the cpu speed lower to avoid freeze and list down your computer specs including power supply

...That would only be a problem if you assumed that the OP built the computer and did an unstable overclock.

It's most likely a prebuilt.

and there's only like a thousand more likely things that would cause lagging. i'm pretty sure the OP isn't as stupid as to overclock his computer and then come here and post because he doesn't know why his computer is unstable... Rolling Eyes

MCB he is obviously using a OEM computer, just don't assume overclocking is involved, if they did an overclock their obviously smart enough to trouble shoot it themselves.

I would have to try to freeze my computer right now, which I don't want to do atm. I tried reinstalling WLM, but I can't even find it on my list of programs. I use Windows Vista.

Did this just start happening?
If so, use Windows Restore to a time when this was not happening.

Also, if you go and download the installer, I think that it would either just install it, re-install it, or give you an option of whether to install, reinstall, or just uninstall.

The freezing has been happening for a while, but the MSN thing started around a month ago. I couldn't system restore because I have gotten many files/have downloaded a lot of things since then. I don't really want to lose them.

Also, I've tried with the MSN installer. It just lists a bunch of programs that I might want to install, and says WLM is already installed. I've also tried something from Messenger Plus called "Restore", or something on the lines of that. It says to use it if WLM has been freezing, etc. I used it and nothing at all changed.
