Counting flowers on the wall...

alexpgp...wouldn't bother me at all, if I had flowers on the wall.
But various Windows problems that keep recurring with no rhyme or reason (and for which no good information appears to be available on the Web) are really starting to disturb my equilibrium.
The most common problem has been my system going into an infinite loop waiting for something to happen with respect to the System Event Notification Service. And although having to reboot through an offer to do so in Safe Mode is not a big deal, it's an annoyance, plus there may be things that are not getting done—things that would occur after the SENS was taken care of—that might be important.
Most recently—about a half hour ago—another problem cropped up which has occurred only a couple of times but is most annoying: Windows 7 suddenly refuses to load more than 104 KB or 108 KB of an application before Going On To Other Things™, Typically, what will happen in such circumstances is that I double-click one or more additional times on an application's icon (thinking perhaps I had failed to do so properly the previous times), and only after a while does it occur to me to check out the Task Manager, where I will see however many instances of the app in the process list, each staking out its own 100 KB or so of memory.
So, seeing as it's Sunday (and that we've just gone over to Daylight Savings), I decided to see what wonders might be lurking in Windows Update.
Who knows? It might help, and stranger things have happened.
Cheers...
