Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 If you don't have enough disc space, you need to start deleting non essential files ( downloads, music etc) Right click on the hard drive icon to get the properties. You should try and have several Gbs free.Firefox is a huge memory hog. Avoid keeping too many tabs open. And close down those with images. HTH.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Have a try of Maxthon .. it's a neat browser using webkit. Lots of extra features like screen captures, annotations, resource meter ... You are way ahead of me Donot know how to reformat hard drives computer itself is working fast enough itis the internet now where it barely moves Yet the ipod touch sitting here working off the same wirless network is fine Beats me. if anyone has ideas let me know I took firefox off the computer .... My Dell laptop is 7 hrs old. Have the same problem. Tomorrow I am reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling everything from scratch. (today I am backing up.). If that doesn't work, I am going to have to break down and buy a new computer. Can't really afford that, so keeping my fingers crossed that the reformat works. Maybe the solar flares are messing with it?
