How much RAM? What CPU speed?
Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?
You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?
Do you leave the computer on 24/7?
I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report. Open Disk
Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it
is more informative.

Hope this helps.

on startup. my sister sent me her Gateway computer, it worked find
for a couple of days then earlier this week while I was on the net it
just froze up on me, I couldn't use the mouse or anything else. so I
rebooted and it froze and continues to freeze up after. every now
and then I can get as far as the user account icon.
I'm running WinXP as it says in the Topic title. I have tried to boot
from the WinXP installation cd and that hangs up too and it gets to
the Windows Setup screen when it is loading files. I have also tried
another hard drive with the same results. it also will not boot in
the safe mode either.
does anyone have any ideas. if you need more info please let me know
.
