Im guessing ur ram, make sure u dont run a lot of programs that hogs ur rams.

 

[Auron]

Theonly things I have runing are norton auto-protect and zone alarm and a game.
Do any of those hogs ram ?

 

[Stryder]

Well look at ur PF usage on the task manager.

 

[Auron]

its at 234mb and I only have netscape navigator and zone alarm and norton auto-protect and msn on.Is that a bad level at what it is at ?

i heard of this problem a lot...if you search google you will find better answers....i think a lot of them just reinstalled and it worked out

 

[Auron]

I think I am just gonna format my computer it always solves the problem.

 

[Forged]

norton is a ram hog, but seeing as you aren't at your max I don't think that is the problem. Cut off norton and see if you still have the problem.

 

[Auron]

I'll try that Forged if it doesn't work and it keeps freezing that means it time to format.
