Re: computer help?? :(

I have defragged and uninstalled everything I dared. I will keep freeing up more space, though.

I only really have Firefox running, and every now and then, Windows Media Player, but the problems happen even if it's only Firefox, and even if I only have like 5 tabs open.

I am using Panda Cloud Antivirus Free. I have no idea how much of a memory hog it is (but the whole "being online all the time" can't be helping, right?)

Video quality: I'll have to try that.

! Dust! I don't know why I didn't think of that. I've had a lot of dust problems lately in the house. I'll have to open it up and clean it. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for all the advice, this is exactly the kind of information I wanted to get! c:

Firefox is actually quite a bit of a hog itself when it comes to web browsers! Especially if you're running multiple addons. Does Firefox come with a built in task manager like Chrome? You might find that one of your addons or a particular tab is sucking up all the RAM.

Firefox also has had problems with memory leaks if I recall, so keep an eye on it in general!

As for Panda, I have no idea! It'd be a good idea to google and see what other users have to say. Might be fine, might be terrible!

Good luck with the rest! Be careful dusting it out, and hopefully it runs a bit better with some love and care! :3

Firefox has a NASTY memory leak that's just gotten worse over the years. I actually switched to Chrome because, while there can still be memory issues, each tab is its own individual process, and thus I have much more control over closing the thing that's decided to eat up all my memory. (Google Reader and Gmail and Facebook LOVE to do this.)

However, you do IMO want to look at an upgrade. FWIW those specs were low end and years out of date when I built my last computer in 2007. It is not really much of a surprise that you're having issues, because everything is being updated to keep up with modern computer tech and specs. :(
