When this happens, you could try using task manager 'ctrl alt delete' to see if a particular process is using a large % of the processor.

It probably won't directly help your browsing problems but for goodness sake, feed that hungry system another 512Mb of memory.

 

How often do you dump your temporary internet files and history? Note that you should close all browser windows after doing that and then reopen them.

 

Good idea while the browser sessions are closed to click on start, on run, key in ipconfig /flushdns and click OK. note the space after ipconfig

 

Have you defragged your system drive recently?

[Guest sandpipper]

dunc85 ive done this and nothing else is running?

 

Newt isnt 512Mb of memory enough `ll buy another

 

temporary internet files and history i do this quiet offten

 

defragged your system it say it doesnt need doing

 

ipconfig /flushdns ive typed this in and a black box flashes up and in an instant its gone???

[Si...]

The bare minimum I`d use for XP is 1GB memory (I have 2.5GB installed presently)

 

OK

 

try this for the ipconfig /flushdns

 

Start > Run > Type in cmd > Hit OK > in the screen type in the ipconfig /flushdns command.
