Don't know, how can I check that? [/QUOTE]On my Win2k machine, right-click on my computer, select PRoperties, select Advanced, select Performance. Amount of VM is displayed, but click on the change tab. This display the range of VM. I prefer to have a fixed VM size (2-3 times actual memory, typically, but for yours, probably 1500 MB). Windows may bark, but it's not always so smart...

When it comes back after those 20 seconds, does it respond normally?

Yes it responds normally after that, but when I do it like 5 times in lets say a half a hour the computer totally freezes up and I need to make a hard reboot (restart button, windows taskmanager will not even pop-up when I press the ctrl-alt-delete combination) [/QUOTE]Take a look at what other processes you have running. Hit ctl-alt-del to get to the task manager list, and let's take a look. Probably some gremlins in there (note that's gremlins, and not graemlins
).

And what does "shifting through the files" mean? Are you reviewing them in an application, looking through Windows explorer, or something else?
|
I just open the directory where there in and look up the file I need, I scroll down and click on a file.. then when I click on other file in the same directory (or in an other directoy on a different harddrive) it freezes up. [/QUOTE]Definitely sounds memory or resource related.

Is this sufficient information?

It's good for the first round
