Re: Thanks anyway guys, 'preciate your time
Sounds like they are right about your memory problems. XP itself is a memory hog. I have freeramxp which tracks my memory usage. Right now windows processes are eating up over 500 megs of memory on idle. Luckily I have 2 gigs of fast ram.
​
Get more ram if you can. Since your computer is old you should be able to find cheap DDR or SDRAM. Newegg's got 512 of SDRAM for $35 with shipping.
