One way is to decrease the number of background programs running on your computer. Disable all the programs that runs at system startup. Each uses a little memory, they add up. Also, scan your harddrive for spyware and adware.
My computer crashes frequently, and many programs take forever to load. I think that it is a problem with my memory. I have 30 of 320 MB available. How can I free up memory, cuc i jus dont want to go out and buy more memory...I'm trying to save up some money. Thanks in advance.
I am running Windows Me edition, my comp is a HP Pavilion 6745C running on 700MHz. let me know if yall need more info...again, thanks.
