Fecker keeps freezing and the only way to make it work again is to CTRL, ALT, DLT and end task on the explorer (normally second one down) it thinks for a few seconds and then moves again. Also, can't access owt from the Desktop, double click on it and it does nowt, unless I do the same as above and after a short while it will load very slowly any ideas ?
sounds to me too many programs are running how many icons are there near the clock in the bottom right hand side of the screen?
Are you running Windows XP? Is the machine relatively new? If so, it shouldn't "freeze" unless something is hammering the processor.</p> When you hit CTRL-ALT-DEL hit the "Task Manager" button and have a look on the "Processes" tab. In the "CPU" column take a look for anything with a high % value and report back."System Idle Process" should be the highest value (when the machine is not doing much) as this value indicates the % of the processor that is "free".</p> HTH, Stephen</p>
I don't think its XP CTRL, ALT and DLT just brings up the close programme box perhaps I should get a new one
Yes, it's time for an upgrade! Get yourself a wireless laptop with a built in DVD Writer. There are plenty knocking around forthe same price as a desktop.</p>
RE: Yes, it's time for an upgrade! Never found a laptop that runs like a desktop of the same spec, processors get too warm and tend to slow them down
RE: Yes, it's time for an upgrade! I'm on my second laptop. However, it's for convenience more than spec. If I had a choice I'd rather have a desktop.
