My computer hangs frequently, even though I have latest version of Windows XP and Office 2000. What to do?

Do you know what is causing it to hang?  In other words, have you gone into task manager and seen the actual processes that are holding your machine hostage?  Also, this could be because you don't have adequate hardware to handle the software that you're running. There is a utility available which may help you.  It is called Process Explorer and is made by SysInternals.  Running this will show you what is causing your machine to hang.  It is freeware which means you can download it online free of charge.\n\nI hope that this helps.

Try getting a faster processor. I just bought a 2.4GHZ laptop Pentium 4 and office opens SUPER FAST! FASTER than my 1.3 GHz Laptop!Also, I have 512 MB RAM.

check if your CPU temprature is high.\nthe most common resualt of "CPU fan" problem is hanging or freezing.\ncheck if your CPU fan is working properly.\nthe next problem may be RAM.try to change RAM and test your system.

Can you rollback your system state? I would try that first.\nAssuming you are using win xp

If your computer more recent, then probably the issue is software related. I would advise updating all your hardware drivers and updating windows to the latest patches. plus antivirus and adware/malware scans are a must.\n\nIf your computer is more than 2 years old, then this is probably a hardware problem (could be the RAM or a bus). You will need to upgrade.\n\nAll the best!!!

Use Linux.  Microsoft XP SP2 is pretty stable and Vista may finally be a true stable OS.  I'm guessing you are not using any of the above, so remove the last piece of hardware you added or remove the last piece of software you added, or remove the last virus you added...(on accident of course).  One of those three are the likely problem.

What kind of operating system are you currently using?  Is it XP 64 bit?

check the CPU usage. if your ranning winXP, go to the task manager.\n\nit depends also on the size of your RAM!

sounds like a security patch. I highly reccomend upgrade'n to Windows XP. \n\nYou can try using Office 97 instead of 2000. only problem with that is the databases you created might not be compatable with the older version of office. \n\n1st: Try unistalling any security packages recently installed. \n2nd: completely uninstall office on all computers and install fresh from CD.

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.

Check for newer version or updates. Also check the system requirements for the program.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nGood Luck.

This is a multiple layered issue.\n\n Most slow issues are related to CPU and or RAM related issues. If you are having application response issues this is related to both of these items. The first thing to review is the processes that are operating in the background. If running xp this is simple. ctrl+alt+del for the task manager. click on the tab marked processes and verify that only 45-50 processes are running. If there are more than you should shut down any processes that are not SYSTEM related. The other cure for mulitple processes running is to click the following start/run: enter msconfig then click on the start up tab. go through the list of items that you do not want to start up at the boot. This will eliminate you having to stop processes every time you restart. Note after this process you will restart and be sure to click the waring that you reconfigured your start up or it will appear everytime.\n\n Ok next thing to check would be defrag and cookies.\n\nclick start/my computer/alt click on c drive/click on properties/tools tab/defrag. Always run analyze first if defrag is required do so. This is a slow process and requires that no other applications are occrruing.\n\nFinally I would try this.\n\nClean out temp file and recycle bin.\n\nVia the following steps\n\nstart/control panel/free up space on your hard disk/select c drive/chose items to eliminate. run clean up.\n\nNote the above are all related to maintenance. If infact it is your interenet speed that is slow none of this will speed up your browsing. If it is application related then a cpu or ram upgrade may be needed.\n\nGood luck

stick with V6 until V7 is more stable - go to control panel and add/remove programs and if V7 is there uninstall it, MS Ex is part of Windows and may be a problem to remove

Increase your ram asap.\n\nRunning winXP on a 64mb machine is silly.

Actually I had a similar problem. Surprisingly (and unfortunately) Windows 2000 does NOT have a compatability mode, like XP does. I eventually upgraded, but yea, my program wouldn't work. Give it a shot though. Good luck.

Go to Control Panel , then Systems.\n\nWhat operating system do you have?\n\nI heard people with Windows XP SP1 are having problems with Active Sync. You might want to upgrade to SP2.
