Open Task Manager and see what the most memory-intensive processes are. Make sure nothing is running which shouldn't be there.

Do what every other tech-savvy person does REINSTALL Windows if there's no critcal data on your system. Windows appears to be inherently crappy. I tend to do bi-yearly reinstall. I save all my data and settings. I wipe my machine clean and reinstall Windows. After that I'm all set.

TECHZAPORT OUT!!!

Masrawi,

What will you do when your hard drive crashes and you lose all of your data? Or a nasty virus destroys all of your data? It WILL happen at some point.
