Not bad. I am not trying to insult you myself the way I do things I try to cover all the bases some times it makes me write or say things that seam insulting to an experienced person.

But all I can say is upgrade your CPU or decrease the number of apps you use at one time. I run an equivalent CPU I often see the problems you have when all I am using AOL (not proud of this either) and MS WORD. What I do to remedy the problem is to slow down, i.e turn of some processes or turn of AOL etc., what I am doing or just stop using my computer for a while an alow my computer to finish all the tasks I have told it to perform.
