Hello again...

My brother has AMD Duron 700, 192 megs of RAM, Geforce2MX, 40GB IBM, 3com net card, etc...

Is this configuration good enought for Windows XP Home Edition?

Beause it works just fine until a certain moment - when you open some game or application... computer stops responding or it starts responding very very slow.

I tried to open Task Manager and after ages it really has stareted. And I saw that the application or a game I started is eating 99% of CPU's time. I killed the process and computer started responding normally...

Why is this happening and what can I do?

Thanks for any help,

some ideas here:

1. Do you have installed the latest drivers/patches/windows application updates/DX8.1 installed? If not, get them.

2. Set your page file to an adequate size, such as 300Mb. Or let Windows manage it.

2. Does DX Diagnostics show up any problems?

3. Before you kill a game in the Task Manager, what is its Priority Level (if it is too high or too low, set it to Normal)?

3. And can you list a few games of those that make your pc crawl?

Do you recommend using a pagefile, just wondering, currently I don't use one.
