reoccurs .

I upgrade to 3 gigs of Ram to solve virtual memory shortage but
problem persists. Especially bad when I click out of screen saver.
Open windows are not complete and can't be closed.

Launching Microsoft word completely freezes computer. Cannot access
that prgm anymore.

Virus?

IIRC, increasing the RAM has no effect on virtual memory - have a look at
this link for some info:
