when I use "REASON" for a while, it pops up a message saying that my comp is too slow and need to be optimized....and it won't let me play the file normally........is it because I don't have enough rams?

get another 256 mb of ram, you can fasten the right click speed, go to run and type in regedit, there, you have to set the time from 400 to anything arround 25 to 75, try it, but do carefully, as it may corroupt your os,

It could be as simple as bad drivers (audio, video or motherboard) or could be bad RAM as well, by my experience.  Is that a game that you're referring to?  I've assumed so.

have you deleted files , scaned your disk , did a disk clean up, defragged lately.. those things can slow the comp down, if not done weekly.. maybe you need more ram.. did you update before you ran your virus scan.. sometimes all you need 2 do is reboot.. bummer eh

Starting off with the checking your space, go to my computer and right click on c: click properties. here you will see a pie gragh and also in words how much space you have.\n\nAs far as it freezing.. if you winXP... this is common when your system registry gets "cut up" this means when you uninstall or install or save too much and it leaves holes and gapes or missing and broken linking archives in the registry... \n\nThe other common causes is that there is too much on the disk it self, such as pics, music.. ect. Tip: anything you put on the computer no matter what it is and how fast the computer is slows the disk reader down. The more information you have the more it has to read through. My tip is to defrag alot! once a week or at least once a month. \n\nDefrag: remember how i told you to open up the amount of space? well do that again. but you will see a tab that says tools, click that then you will see defrag.. select the c: and click defrag button.. let it run.. repeat this once a week.. this will help it run faster and shut down.\n\nIf you do have reg problems you will need to get a good certifiable reg editor that is automated... to clean it up.. you can use spybot s& d they have a slight version that will help with some of the reg problems built in.. but not all. visit Http://www.safer-networking.org...... \n\nSome other issues you will need to get a pro to do if these steps do not fix the issue.. \n\nTip: get a second h.d. and store your pics vides music and docs there and not on the main h.d. this will increase the speed.\n\nGood luck and let me know how it goes!\n\nJon Ellender Sr. Tech.\nTexas Tech Services\nvisit us on the web @\nhttp://texastech.mycv.bz

Run disk cleanup in start/applications/system tools\nAnd then run disk defragmenter in the same location\nMake sure you do it in that order.\nDisk cleanup will delete unused files and the defragmenter will bring files together that are in different places on the hard drive.\ni would suggest doing this whilst doing nothing else (e.g dont run any other programs while performing these) otherwise they may not work very well. once completed restart your P.c and voila!\n\nIf your P.C is still running slow it could be some kind of "ware", spyware, malware, e.c.t.\n\nIf still no then perhaps you should consider buying some more RAM. P.cs these day's really need 512mb at least to run really smoothly through high graphic tasks, like games for instance.\n\nIf you are still having a problem email me on yahoo. good luck\n\nP.S  IF YOU ARE USING NORTON THEN THAT WILL BE THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM. DON'T USE NORTON ANTI-VIRUS OR NORTON ANYTHING. IT WILL GRIND YOUR P.C TO A HALT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER PACKAGES OUT THERE THAT DONT DO THIS AND WORK JUST AS WELL, SOME OF THEM FREE.\n\nIf your looking for a free anti-virus or spyware try AGV. search it on google or watever. Go on there site a select free downloads. I use it and it is the best one i have ever used, and its completely free!

its a waste of money to purchase more RAM if you don't have a need for it. also uninstall that freeware program you have, it is tasking your existing RAM, and i'm sure it being free, it came with some spyware/adware that is also take'n up your RAM. \n\npurchasing RAM to increase speed isn't always the solution, the BUS speed, CPU, harddrive, all play a role in your preformance.

It sound like your system respond is too slow. \n\nTry to check what is the available memory left on the system. If you are running on Win XP, click on Alt+Ctrl+Del once. Choose Task Manager, click on Performance, Check on phyical memory. If you left 50MB and below, you need to upgrade your memory, or uninstall some of your software to give space for other problem.

1. You probably have too much crap running in the background for one thing. Check to see whats running in startup. Most people dont understand that having these things run eats up valuable ram! If you have things running you dont use then shut them off! The more ram you have available the faster your system will run. \n2. You may be one of the many users who insist on downloading free music. Believe me nothing is free! I have found , bearshare, kazaa, limewire, etc. all are infested with adware, spyware, trojans, hijackers, and viruses! Anyone who tells you they arent is an absolute idiot!\n3. Online games, porn sites, gambling sites, etc are also infected with this crap! \nDownload yahoo antispy and run it. I am betting you find tons of this crap! Once your computer is back to par dont go back to these sites!

Have you tried watching it in a different media player?  Depending on the file type, some players are better than others.  \n\nIt also sounds like a resource issue. I don't know how much memory your pc has, but try closing down any background (resource-hungry) applications.

The age of the game may mean that the components or "code" for the music software cannot be run on your computer.  If the rest of the game works, then maybe just put in a CD and rock on!

You probably have spyware/adware. This is the leading cause of these types of problems...more than insufficient RAM it seems. I know you probably have an antivirus, but it most likely does NOT have an antispyware. \n\n1.)Restart you system in safemode with networking (using F8 during the startup process to get to the advance startup menu) \n2.)Download LavaSoft's Ad-Aware (http://tinyurl.com/bcknm): Next your way till you get to the end of the install, the scan will start automatically after updating\n3.) What to look for in an Ad-Aware scan: The NEW CRITICAL OBJECTS are the spyware/adware installed on your system. \n4.) At the end of the scan you will see checkboxes for each malware on the system, either click each box OR right click the name of the first item and choose "Select all Objects"\n5.) Click next. \n6.) Close the scan using the 'X' in the top right\n\nBet your system runs faster after doing this!!!

your system could be slow due to various reasons like cache memory being full, you are running many programs in one go etc. Best option is to use a prog like cclearner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) which can help clear unwanted programs and files and clean up your memory of the junk files. This should help your system respond bettem. \n\nAlso check your system for virus by scanning it with a good anti virus program and for spyware by using share ware prog like windefender or yahoo defender etc.\n\nIf this does not work, you may have to increase the ram memory in your system.

Have been watching this question because I was hoping someone knew the answer. Apparently they don't. My only guess would be that you have too much memory stored up, and need to use your disc cleaner more often. If you are not happy with the disc cleaner that came with the computer, you can download a free CCleaner {crap cleaner}, at http://www.ccleaner.com ---good luck. \nHow much RAM do you have? You may need to add more, or delete/uninstall some of the stuff you have on your computer.

More memory will probably make computer gaming easier and faster, but there are some maintenance operations you should perform regularly, also.  Actually, if you do not run these maintenance programs periodically, more memory will not do you much good:\n\n\n- Are you using a complex screensaver - it runs in the background and eats memory. I had fun with mine, then changed it to blank.\n- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.\n- To do this:  cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.\n- cl Start Menu,  cl Customize,  cl Remove.\n- cl the icon for the program you wish to remove\n- then cl Remove.\n- This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.\n- Are you in a large file?  If so, save frequently to restore full memory access.  (Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to disk.\n\n1. Did you run an error check? Open My Computer, \nRight-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix);   then run a Defrag\n\n2. Are you using Yahoo Toolbar?  Run a full Norton Antispy.\n\n3. From IE, click Tools, Internet Options\ndelete cookies\ndelete files (offline files)\nclear history  (set days to save to 0 if you want)\nclick o.k., and Restart\n\n3. click Start,  Programs,  Accessories,  System Tools – run Disk Cleanup\n\n4. click Start,  Run     ipconfig renew    (type    ipconfig space renew)\n\nThe more frequently they are run, the less time they take.\n- Note:  Games and videos are mostly graphics.  Graphics create large files.  \n\nIf this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

po-up saying your virtual memory is low or is it something more like "you need more memory, click here"\nif its "virtual memory is low or has been adjusted" then that is something windows does....you can increase your virtual memory by right clicking on the my computer icon, select properties and go to the advaced tab...then under performance click on the settings button, then the advanced tab then under virtual memory click on the change button......you can select the drive and how much or little virtual memory is used on each hard drive or you could go with the reccomended or set it manually.\n\nIf its the second possibility "click here to fix" that is more likely some sort of adware.
