I ran Disk Cleanup, defragmented C: drive and removed System Restore Point
two-three days ago.
Actually I didn't experience the freezing recently but i thought that it
might be some bug and that's why I'm refering this request for help.

Thanks

I'm not sure about total CPU processor speed - is it the AMD processor
speed? It's 1.20 GHz

Thank you

Automatic (see scroll option in middle of General tab). Also there is a
Start button if you need to start the service.

The previous paragraph could resolve the Event Viewer errors. It may
resolve the whole problem

Your amount of RAM is most likely insufficient for running Windows XP
with complete satisfaction. The amount is minimal.

Can you please try again for this information.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the PerformanceTab.
Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

What is your CPU processor speed?

Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

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.

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System
Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

Hope this helps.

Hi Gerry-

Windows couldn't log the RSoP (Resultant Set of Policies) session

will be done for this application of policy.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at

The upper event appears dozen of times

The Windows Security Center Service was unable to establish event
queries with WMI to monitor third party AntiVirus and Firewall.

The upper event appears 5 times

The other stuff is Information Type.
How much RAM memory?

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?

224 MB RAM
I couldn't get <What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?>

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

There are no yellow questin marks

Thank you

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close
Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the
body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting
from Event Viewer.

the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,

Hi.
Almost everytime I'm trying to open Windows Explorer, i.e. My
Documents or whatever folder, Windows freezes and I have to Log
Off/Restart through Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del).
I'm running updated Windows XP SP2, updated antivirus ESET, Security
Center firewall. I'm experiencing the problem for 2 months now.
Any help will be much appreciated
