How do I stop my PC screen freezing?

After not being used for an hour or so, when I try to connect to the web the dial up does not show after "send/receive" is left clicked in Outlook Express. Ctrl/alt/del often shows that "greasypalmsupdate is not responding". I have tried add/remove programmes to remove "rebate catcher" but failed with the response - "Installation log file not found". Can I assume that this may be the cause for the freezing? If so how do I get rid of it?
Ctrl/alt/del sometimes shows the "outlook express folder sync window class" not responding. Could this be a cause?
Any advice will be appreciated.

Try re-installing gresypalm, and then do an uninstall. My guess is you have deleted the GP folder which contains the uninstall info.I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.
