    My system, WXP, is a little sluggish, and I know its time to do some malware and virus scanning

    I would like to solve a dilema that is starting to get my attention.

    I have noticed that when I have a box or program on the desk top and
    I minimize it that besides sometimes being a little slow to react it
    leaves behing a blank image, a space void of any image that was behind it wether a program or icons on the desk top.

    On top of that, I have taken a screen shot of a systems notification
    that was rahter long,(horizantally), compared to others but thin,
    I took a screen shot and it tuned out that when I pasted it on paint,
    a very small part of it pasted, does anyone know what went wrong?

    To me it sounds like you are running low on memory. Look in Task Manager -> Performance -> Physical Memory -> Available and the Page File Usage History. If Available runs low, Page File will rise. You don't want to run on Page File unless you have to. If you are running on Page File you should get more RAM.
