Have you checked the event viewer to see what the errors are?

Right click on My Computer and choose Manage...

Then click on Event Viewer.

Thanks for the response but knowing very little about computers what should I be looking for once I have accessed event viewer and have the application,security and system logs to view.

Take a look at the System and Application logs. Check for Red X's. They are a good indicator that something went wrong. There are also Yello !'s which give you information.

post 3 or 4 minidumps as a zipped attachment for analysis or download the windows debugger from M$ and check it yourself. (much better)
Also download crap cleaner (free) and use it religiously. The registry repair tool is very handy.
