Probably TSRs, and badly allocated dlls due to shoddy installers. If Timmy doesn't mind a reformat I'd steer him towards TinyXP rev08 or rev09, ---- runs great and occupies ~46 megs of RAM at system startup.

Gonna check that out, thanks for the tip. I WILL run GTA 4 on my 2.8 HT Pentium 4, the question is will it make me wanna blow my brains out or not.

But my old HP battlebox is back up and running now that I soldered wires directly to the motherboard to replace the faulty power jack. I was thinking it needed wiped and a fresh start so I can browse internets, maybe some email, backup of SW in case this laptop goes down, and EcTune, maybe crome/flashburn. Other than that I always tried to keep software to a minimum, you think tinyxp is the way to go then? I lost the cd's that came with the pc, it probably originally had xp pro too as that's what we tried to standardise on.
Keeping with the threadjack, what antivirus you guys recommend for the above setup? It has an expired copy of norton, my company since moved to AVG but frankly I view them both as practiacally a virus in themselves. It's hard as ---- to disable or change their settings to leave ---- alone that may need left alone.

It's a common problem, most of the freeware out and quite a lot of the "professional" software assigns dlls to overlapping memory addresses, causing windows to have to repeatedly load/unload the same dlls over and over instead of letting them occupy a relatively small amount of RAM *cough* XP with 2 gigs *cough*
If you have any more basic PC maintenance questions, Yuriy, feel free to ask. I'll always try to shoot you right.

snm95ls, have you looked at Thinkpads lately? They come cheapest with Linux, where you don't have to pay for any sort of Microsoft product, and when you get the unit you wipe the HD and install XP sp3 that you downloaded off the internet for free.

I am looking right now actually. Somehow I am not seeing the option for Linux, yet...
