yep its a fact, time and time again, my programs stoped working and then it says "not responding" and then i have to end program and start over, examples are explorer, msn, photoshop, etc. can anyone tell me how to fix this
have you got like 256Mb ram u shud really have 512Mb at min and 1GB recommended to run those sorts of applications together or on there own PS takes alot of ram plus whats your processor its not always viruses tho they do cause alot of the problems!
some prgrams are coded ----tily and crash... some operating systems(like windows) are programmed ----tily and either crash themselves ro crash apps running in them. some computer hardware is unstable(especially some overclocked hardware) and might make programs and/or OSes crash solution, press ctrl+alt+del and end it from there...
where can i check how much ram i have, and it can it be that a virus is doing this to me, i do have a virus scan, should i scan my computer then Merged Post: where can i check how much ram i have, and it can it be that a virus is doing this to me, i do have a virus scan, should i scan my computer then
Press start and right click on the icon that says 'My Computer', in general it should tell your pretty much everything.
okay, i have 2.0 gb of RAM, is that good, if so, then whats causing my programs to stop working and become non responded
You're lucky, wish I had that much RAM :lol: You could try to close any un needed program running in the background, or disable any desktop visual enchancers you may have.
nah, even if i have like only internet explorer running, it stops working and then i need to start it up again,
2.0 is more than enough to run all of those programs, the problem must be virus/spyware. I recommend getting Ad-Aware SE Personal, Kaspersky Anti Virus, and Spybot-Search and Destroy.
Don't just get one...get them all. You should also try Hitman (---) for a total eradication program that includes all the decent adware, spyware, malware removers in one sweep.
