Intermittently I'm experiencing problems where windows either stop
opening or won't display fully, pull down menus and context menu's
fail to display etc etc. It seems like the OS has run out of gui
resources.
This is not specific to any program, for example, alt-tab stops
functioning normally, the window displaying the icons does not appear
and selecting alt-tab simply switches from one program to the next
(without waiting for the keyup from the alt-tab).
After closing a window or program, things function normally again,
however, after a while (20min-hour) the problem occurs again.
Gradually I end up having to reboot as I am forced to close more and
more programs until I'm only able to have a few open and it becomes
unworkable.
I've experienced this problem on Windows XP SP2, Vista both on my
laptop and now on a desktop PC running Windows XP SP2 at work. I'm
worried that this may be a virus not being detected by either Windows
Defender or my work's virus detection solution.
Can anyone help me on this ?
