re: computer help to seafarer Hi
you didnt mention if you tried closing apps (re Rembrandts solution)
I have also used this to free resources.

NB I always log a backup before removing anything I am uncertain of.

My pet windows tweak is to FIX a memory file size in Virtual Memory.
Windows uses virtual memory manager by default. this should be unchecked and an upper and lower memory range is entered (up to 2.5 X available ram). With 128meg ram , you set both upper and lower at 300meg, This will increase speed of applications and it has also seems to have reduced my own resource probs.

the best Windows tweak site I have found is
Fred Langa's

this is a link to a free download versn of a System resource manager for further fine tuning
