how can I.... un--overload it ??? .....sometimes when a second or third window/page is closed, the image of it will be on the window/page previosly, sometimes it will fade to a gray or white image or finally go away, but freezes up alot along with the multiple pages before it...I want to make a page change to new subject without a new one popping up ...I have defragged, scan disk sometimes standard & fix, sometimes thouroughly & fix which takes 7-8-9---hours to finish...almost 3-weekly.I have had to cntr-alt-delete most times BUT that will freeze up too...then I have to literally turn off and re-start myself...this is almost every time I go to the next window/page or click options...this is a used W98 updated by the previous owner to W98- sec BUT no original disk...I don't know if these are all related or not...one more thing, when I drag a smaller window/page it will leave trails like you can set your pointer/cursor [which the setting is off]..everything loads SUPER slow. HELP

You might try a basic computer course to begin with! You are probably one of the many users who has everything runnin but the kitchen sink! Your PC only has so much ram to run programs! When you run 3 messengers, 4 file sharing programs, listen to your CD, and browse the net you are running way to much crap! I wouldnt doubt that your PC is so infected with spyware it aint funny too!

Based on your statement your PC is no longer capable of handling the tasks.
My best advice is to upgrade your memory and hard drive. But if you have the means then get yourself a new Intel Core 2 Duo PC.

Time for another , faster cpu. You could try adding more memory. You don't give the specifics on your machine so we really can't help you beyond that. Sounds like you need more memory though.

You desperately need more RAM, and a processor upgrade.
