Machine lock up

[BryanWM]

I recently cloned my hard drive to a larger drive. I used the trial version 9.0 HOME and intended to purchase the software after the 15 day trial but not now. I am experiencing a lock down situation. After the computer sets unused for an hour or so nothing will run when I click an icon on the desktop. I get an error message that says: " Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

I have checked for all the viruses. I ran the sfc /scannow process suggested by another forum.

A restart or reboot clears the problem for a while until the computer sets idle for some time.

Anyone had this problem?

Incidently, the original drive does not have this problem?????????
