All of a sudden when working on my XP partition, it's taking forever for an app to launch when I click on a document (4 or 5 minutes for Word to launch, for example or double-clicking on an index.htm file takes three or four minutes for the browser to launch) and sometimes the app never launches: instead I get a message five or six minutes later that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
All the references I've read about this online seem to attribute it to an app called Zone Alarm which is blocking app to app communication somehow, but I'm not running Zone Alarm, I'm running AVG.
This doesn't happen when I start in Safe Mode but it does happen if I turn the AVG firewall off entirely.
Any ideas how to solve this?
