I have this very weird issue on windows xp. Even after I formatted, an
reinstalled everything, it eventually comes back.

Now this doesnt always happen. My current guess is when i use aroun
2GB/4GB of my memory and have alot of apps running, it starts.

The problem is, sometimes for a period of time (could be up to a fe
hours), the following happen in any combination (sometimes all):
- I cant open a folder, if i double click, it just doesnt load.
- If any folders including My computer does open, all the content
inside are not displayed.
- Applications dont load. When I tried to load media player classic i
said something like not enough memory when there is clearly 1GB free
- The right click button doesnt do anything, whether u click it o
desktop, mozila or taskbar
- When I attempt to open folders, something else opens, like VLC medi
player, short cut creator.
- file menu etc does no open.

this is a very weird and annoying problem. has anyone had it before? I
often also happens as im going through directories cuttin,pasting
renaming stuff...sometimes the folder wont open or just opens but doesn
show any contents in it. Has anyone faced a similar problem

Malware can be the cause of your problems.

Otherwise, maybe you are taxing your memory more than you believe. A
quick way to determine if this is happening is to open Task Manager
(Ctrl+Alt+Del) and click the Performance tab. Then note the three values
under Commit Charge (K): in the lower left-hand corner: Total, Limit,
and Peak.

The Total figure represents the amount of memory you are using at that
very moment. The Peak figure represents the highest amount of memory you
used since last bootup. If both these figures are below the value of
Physical Memory (K) Total, then you probably have plenty of RAM.
In case you want to explore this further, you may run Page File Monitor
for Windows XP:

1)Try lowering your memory stick(s) to 2GB

2)Update & Run your Malaware software
