Thank you Aron,
I'm running
System:
Windows 2000
5.00.2195
Service Pack 4
Computer:
Gateway
x86 Faily 6 Model 8 Stepping
1
AT/AT compatible
392,740 KB RAM
1. Computer takes 15 minutes to load my settings whether shutting down or
booting up, if i have to do a restart, this is 30 minutes wasted.
2. Often the computer thinks that programs are running that are not running
(i.e. eudora, ie explorer).
3. eudora sometimes freezes if I click on a HTML link and I have to trash
the owner.lok file and restart eudora
4. Computer will not let me trash certain files.
5. When I am using Illustrator my computer often freezes. I've been told
that Illustrator 10 is a memory hog and it sometimes asks for more memory.
6. When I am using Fireworks MX and Dreamweaver MX 6.1 ,if I have to update
navigation files they somehow get corrupted when I try to insert
interactive HTML files into Dreamweaver. I try numerous fixes that don't
work but in a new file the exported HTML does work so the only way I have
of updating some of the pages is to completely rebuild the templates from
scratch which is very time consuming
This is getting very frustrating and I really don't know if it is the
computer, or something in my settings.
