It sounds to me like your Messenger Service is on. And NO I am not talking about MSN Messenger, or YIM or AIM.

Here is how to fix this:

Start--->Programs---> Administrative Tools--->Services

Scroll down find the Messenger Service, Right click on it--->Stop

Then right click again--->Properties--->Startup Type dropdown box--->Disable--->Apply--->OK---> Finished!!

(The Above is assuming that you are running Win XP)

=====================

On the topic of System Stability, if you arent going to Windows Update WEEKLY, or have XP setup to do it for you Automatically. Its a wonder you guys arent having more issues than you are.

Start--->Windows Update--->Follow Prompts.
I doubt this is the cause. If he follows the advice I have him, he could solve the problem.

BTW, shoot the messenger is an easier way to disable windows messenger service, which everybody should do.
