Hi everybody,
Brand new Dell inspiron Pentium Celeron 256MB RAM 40GB HD XP professional
2002 and Microsoft Works v7.0
The problem, one of Works text files I'm working on has reached 531kB size
mainly because added 6 scanned pictures (40.. 50kB each picture JPEG scanner
EPSON 4850 printer). So, now every time I want to open that file, Works goes
APPLICATION NOT RESPONDING mode.
When I click on kill application either from Works top right window Xbutton,
or from Win XP tasks manager (ctrl-alt-ldel) the process ignores such
terminate order for at least 5 or 6 times. Works window does not complete
lower side, it is, only black color, messy patches, and mouse pointer goes
BUSY sandclock icon whenever on that Works window.
Only way to stop it I've managed so far, is shut down all other windows,
even if just another one open, and keep clicking on END TASK from Task
Manager.
I followed the book, no unproper logoffs or enough-is-enough mains
unpluging. When turning off the system and restarting problems still there.
Questions:
Q1: I've read similar problems around and a suggestion, uninstal NIS, do you
mean Norton? I've got free trial Norton, it came with sales offer.
Q2: Should I upgrade RAM to 512MB as Mike (Total seminars) suggests? I'm not
scratching wallet without clear vector, if any available.
Q3: if I remove Norton, which I'd like to stay in, then wouldn´t it make
system weak when navigating out there?
IS THERE ANY ONE OUT THERE WITH ANY CLEAR IDEA OR PAST EXPERIENCE TO SOLVE
THIS PROBLEM? thanks in advance for time and attention on this query
