My computer freezing

KdjaCL

This has been ahppening a few weeks now but really bugging me now.

I click on my computer and it takes over a minute to display c drive etc:

same when extracting a file in winace or winrar even dloading files once i get the fiel browser it locks up and takes an age to display the c drive etc:

really getting on my tits now.

40 gb HD with 2 GB free space but its always been near 2gb free so its not that.

Have minimum services running on XP Pro.

Norton disk doctor in system tools 2003 says everything is great.
And dont have lots of favourites about 80 websites.

Try clearing out your history and limiting the size of your temp. internet files to about 50 megs. If all else fails, click on your temp internet files folder and just hit delete. Then reboot. Windows should reinitialise it emptyish.
