1. Shut down computer and unplug it from the mains. Wait at least a minute and then plug it back in.
This works most of times but you really have to unplug it and wait a min. Just shutting down is not enough.
2. Try running a hard drive scan in safe mode (open my computer, right click on c: drive, select properties, then tools and then select error checking).
More drastic measures:
1. Boot windows installation disk and select automatic repair. Be prepared to have to install some software again.
2. Back up everything and do a clean windows install.
Also, unrelated to your problem, make sure you have at least several gigs of free disk space or windows will slow down heaps. Defragmenting the drive will also help.
