You probably know this, but I'm sure other's will read it too. If you have too many programs running in the background your computer will run slow and lock up. My parents wanted me to order them a new computer so I looked at theirs and the P2 was running about 15 programs because of the stupid kids. I shut them off and they've never had a problem again. Computers also collect a lot of dust which builds heat and causes them to lock up. You can get dry air for electronics at walmart and blow all that **** out. And windows XP is the devil. If you have an older computer stick to 98.
