Windows XP Computer Overall Slow, Freezing & Locking Up.

The video thing? For the streaming? You gave me a link. When I opened that file, it came up in Notepad. A text document. I'm confused. Just give you the three values under Commit Charge and that's it for now?

I'm still not following.

Are you referring to the resetdma.vbs file from this page:

In addition to the three values under Commit Charge, you need to give me that other figure for Physical Memory, total. Just as I did in my example!

While you're at it, do this as well (thanks to Tech_Geek):

Please click Start > Run > type "msinfo32" (without the quotes!) > Press Enter. Allow system information to populate. Click Edit > Select all > click Edit again > Copy. Paste the results in your reply.

I'm confused of what to do with the video thing? It just comes up with Notepad. A text document. Please help me with that. The top seven processes are as follows: System Idle Process, firefox.exe, svchost.exe, taskmgr.exe, alg.exe, Updates from HP, hpqtra08.exe. What do you mean by values? CPU? Memory Usage: firefox.exe, the numbers keep going up. I can't give you a specific number. Maybe because I am using it now? MsMpEng.exe, 35,996 K, explorer.exe, 17,848 K, svchost.exe, 12,064 K, taskmgr.exe, 5,724 K, msseces,exe, 4,040 K, hpqtra08.exe, 3,664 K.

I didn't say anything about a "video thing." Please read my post again.

I suppose I should not have said to "note" the three values. Please write them down and include them in your next post.

I will do it now so you get an idea of what I'm looking for.

These are the three values under Commit Charge (yes they do change; that is not a big deal; pick ANY number since they do not change radically):

Total 568952

Limit 4033908

Peak 780176

Under Physical Memory:

Total 2095532

(Available and System Cache are not  necessary.

The figures you gave me above were Mem Usage. That is good. Do the same for CPU (they will be percentages). Here are my top three right now:

System Idle Process 98 (this is good; you want this number to be high!)

chrome 02

schedhlp 00

Yeah. Ok. I looked at them. I didn't know I had to write them down. Sorry. He said note them.

that's normal, what he wants are the numbers from the performance tab of task manager.

Open Task Manager, select the performance tab, look in the lower left corner, and give Daavee, the Commit Charge numbers for Total, limit, and Peak.

Can you do that?
