It sounds to me like you have too much loaded in your startup for the 512 mb of ram to cope with. In your system tray..area beside the clock..bottom right. Everything there is loaded in your ram. You want to keep it as clean as posible. Items that you remove from there will still work..just go to Start and select the program to run. Follow these steps to get rid of items you dont need.





You'll have to go to ';start';...';Run'; and type in MSCONFIG


When the windows pops up go to the ';startup'; and ';services'; tabs ONLY...and uncheck anything you don't need (Dont unchech any microsoft or antivirus files)...Click Apply....system will want to reboot....reboot....a window will appear saying you made changes to the startup......put a checkmark in the small box bottom left...your done.





If you make a mistake...simply go back in and fix it. These other steps will also free up your ram.








Go to ';Start';...';My Computer';.....Right-click on ';Local disk C:'; drive and select ';Properties'; From here we can actually see the space on your harddrive...run the disk cleanup...it will show you a list of files...those file are always trash...so select ';Checkmark'; each of the files unless you are certian you don't want to delete a certian file...then just don't ';checkmark'; that file ....now let the system clean itself.











(This next step takes a long time and you cannot use the computer while running this program...best bet is to run this before going to bed....it will be finished by the morning)





In the same window...above the pie-chart of your harddrive. Click on ';Tools'; ';Defragment Now'; and select ';Defragment';...not Analyze. When this is complete your computer will be running at its maximum speed.
