How to fix a hung app on the computer?

Question

Answer 1

What else are you running? Might just be a case of RAM overload. Run through this list of things you can do for yourself:

- 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.
There is also a “Disable All” button.
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.)

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

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

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

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

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.

I hate to be the one to say this to you, but shame on you for buying Dell. They are one of the worst computer brands I've ever had. But since you're stuck with the computer and my words wont get you to buy a new computer then i would recommend buying anti virus software and re-installing your browser. Try installing Mozilla FireFox instead of internet explorer

Hold down ctr-alt-delete to open the Windows Task Manager. Click on the processes tab and look for the process saying aol or something close. click on it to highlight it and then click END PROCESS. It will close very fast--but will not save anything. Or you can get Firefox here. =)
