Из первых реплик ясно: Adrian says he has a problem with his computer and asks Paul for help. Далее читаем разговор целиком. Компьютер keeps crashing — «постоянно даёт сбой». Курсор sticks in the same place — «застревает на месте». Пол предлагает выключить и включить компьютер, затем сделать полную антивирусную проверку. Адриан уже пробовал перезапуск, а причиной Пол считает возможный вирус. В пункте
a) The dialogue is about Adrian's computer problem and Paul's suggestions.
b)
Перевод: Адриану мешают сбои компьютера и неподвижный курсор. Пол советует перезагрузку и полную проверку на вирусы.
