As soon as you experience some sort of freeze, hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE and click the Task Manager button. The Task Manager window will open. Click on the "Processes" tab and then click the CPU heading (twice). That will sort the list in descending order by CPU usage. See if you have a process that is eating up a large percentage of your CPU time. You can Google the process name if you don't recognize it.
Prime suspect is normally spyware/adware, so downloading the free MalwareBytes for a check of that is recommended. There are lots of other possibilities, but that's what I'd try first. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
