Answer 1

You need to clean out excissive Cookies

Answer 2

Try some helpful hints to avoid common mistakes:

- Many users are not aware of how much RAM is used by wallpaper and/or a screensaver full of graphics. They run in the background and consume memory. (I have only 512mb RAM, run multiple programs simultaneously, and have set my wallpaper and screensaver to blank.)

I don’t do games, but I do know they are primarily graphics which need and use a lot of memory.

- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
-cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
-cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
-then cl Remove.
-This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.

-When you are working in a large file, save frequently to restore full memory access. (Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to disk.)

1.Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag

2.Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.

3.From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart

3.click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup

4.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

Try clearing your router if you are using one. Just turn off the router and the dsl box and restart them. Restart the dsl box first and let it self reset and then the router. May be this will help in clearing whatever that may be slowing your connection.

Run CouterSpy and Norton Anti-Virus.
If you search on the web theres a 2 week full functioning trial for both.

Good sign of spyware! Get some spyware removal tools. You may also have too many programs accessint the internet! P2P, weather alerts, stock tickers, etc

Answer 6

Do you have Norton antivirus?

There you go!

If not, Maybe they have a new antivirus program that eats memory like a glutton and slows your system... You could also defragment your system and clean your disc drives?

If you do have norton... get rid of it fast!
