For a couple of days now weird things are happening to my computer. For example the font on my browser changes, or the white 'start' on the start menu dissapears with only the green bar and the windows logo on it. Windows Live Messenger is also showing contacts names all over the place and on top of each other. tried opening windows live messenger and it says "c:\program files\windows live\messenger\msnmgr.exe is not a valis Win32 application. clicked ok then clicked on the icon again and this time it worked. when viewing pages some words are also dissapearing and the name of the application such as word at the top of the document is no longer there. sometimes songs in itunes wont play, but closing and opening itunes fixes the problem for a while. i restarted my computer and everything was fixed for a while but a day later the same thing happened again. also when i try to save my word document it says "the save failed due to out of memory or disk space" but i have over 11 GB of space on the hard drive. i also have kaspersky internet security installed with the latest updates and i have run a full computer scan and it hasnt detected anything. i am using windows xp home edition.

I'm kindof a newbie so this might not help a lot, but have you tried clearing out your browser's cache? (when online, go to Tools / Internet Options / Browsing history - do a "delete all" including all offline content)? Or maybe also try cleaning out Temp files? Also, have you heard of services like PlumChoice who get rid of viruses and spyware and such? Not sure any of this helps, but it never hurts to just dive in when learning new subjects...

I am thinking it can be a faulty RAM problem. Try running memtest overnight and see if it says anything is wrong.
