How much RAM?

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it
is more informative.

Hope this helps.

How much RAM?

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it
is more informative.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and

This computer has alway worked well with 256 ram untill it was hit with
viruses and hacks. I have to believe that the rest of my reponse to
Gerry was no read

:
"Ram size: 256"
That could be your problem right there. (Sorry to butt in, Gerry.)

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it
is more informative.

What was not read - by you - are the suggested minimum requirements for
a complete set of effective, modern security applications.

For example, NOD32 has one of the lightest footprints of today's
antivirus application. It's minimum requirement is 128MB. But you also
need a third-party firewall, at minimum, and you probably want
additional protection against malware, rootkits, trojans, spam, etc.
These programs also use RAM. I bet you're using some Office-type
applications, too.

You can certainly run XP with 256MB, but you're going to be making
compromises.

Errare humanum est
This computer has alway worked well with 256 ram untill it was hit with
viruses and hacks. I have to believe that the rest of my reponse to
Gerry was no read

:
"Ram size: 256"
That could be your problem right there. (Sorry to butt in, Gerry.)

"Ram size: 256"

That could be your problem right there. (Sorry to butt in, Gerry.)

Although OP doesn't seem to have enough RAM to avoid relying on using
the pagefile (which would surely slow things down), his main problem is
with freezing, so there must be something else wrong.

Are you on a network?

What exactly locks up? Are you talking about applications hanging? And
if so, which one(s)?

In another post, I noted high figures for Internet Explorer. Which
version are you running? If IE7, have you tried running it in "no
add-ons" mode?

Last question first answer! Normal warning confirming WMI doing it's
job.

Your system is clearly using the pagefile as both the Total and Peak
exceed 256 mb RAM. Most users need 512 mb RAM for satisfactory
performance and more if the computer is used to run programmes requiring
considerable memory e.g. graphics with undo features. You can add memory
or try to reduce usage.

You pagefile is shown as 336 mb. Is this a fixed maximum or is you
pagefile set up on a "Let Windows manage". Until you add RAM memory you
need either to significantly increase the maximum to 512 mb or more or
change to "Let Windows manage".

Is this an Acer Laptop? What model?

ccscchost systen - I think you have a mistype here?

What Norton product do have installed? When does the subscription
expire? Many users have found Norton to be unsatisfactory in performance
terms on your type of machine. There are perfectly adequate freeware
alternatives available to home users.

I find a used disk space of only 3.82 gb a potential puzzle as the
Windows XP Windows folder needs over 3 gb. You presumably have few
programmes and little or no data on the computer?

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System
Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

Found something disturbing in the event logs the following warning
Hiperfcooker_V1 has been registered in the VMI namespace
Is this a virus?

Thanks Ron

How much RAM?

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the
boxes before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the
figures for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as
it is more informative.

Plus System Restore + pagefile + Norton possibly but it is unusual to
have no programmes etc.

I'm not following.

It's been a while since I've done a clean install, but if I were to do
one, about how much disk space do you think it would take up? And since
it's a clean install, wouldn't you expect there to be a low number of
programs and a small amount of data?

Gerry

As I said Daave it's possible but it's hardly a key factor in
determining why the system is freezing. It was just an aside.
