Hey Group
I'm having trouble with Seamonkey freezing my computer if I have my
email open and am accessing some of Facebooks games i.e. Farmville,
Country Life and My Casino. When and if I can get task manager open it
shows 100% CPU usage with 94-99% going to Seamonkey, My computer is
running a AMD Athalon XP 2.1Ghz with 512 meg of DDR PC2100 ram,
Display Adapter VIA/S3G UniChrome IGP integrated on motherboard. If I
try to do a normal shutdown of Seamonkey when this happens it does
nothing and if I can get Windows Task Manager to open it takes
sometimes up to 10 minutes for it to force Seamonkey to close. All 3
of these games use Adobe Flash Player to open and I have the newest
version of both Flash Player and Java installed. Any suggestions on
what could cause this and how short of stop play them I can avoid
these freeze ups. If I access Facebook and these games using IE-8 or
Google Chrome while I have Seamonkey email open I have no problem but
would rather use Seamonkey for both.
By all means upgrade your memory but I would prepare myself for no
improvement in the situation as one possible outcome. I have SM 2.0.3 and
Firefox 3.5.8 installed on two Thinkpads w/ 2mb RAM and they both routinely
freeze up, requiring a manual shutdown and restart. The biggest improvement
in the situation comes with switching off javascript. Switching off flash
and adblock+ also appear to help. Obviously, these are desirable features
which normally you would want to be fully functioning. The tipping point for
all this started when I upgraded from avast4 to avast5, so that is also
likely part of the problem.
One thing I would like to try, but can't, is Panda's online realtime virus
scanner program, which would greatly reduce (I think) one source of real
time competition for memory and processor capacity. Need XP or later for
that, but running Win2K.
I can confirm that flash with some badly set web sites can make XP to go
trashing in swap file.
I tried some addons like noscript, and, better flashblock solved the
problem.
only one flash active is enough, some sites fire many more (with no use)
adding some memory seems to make sense, but I could say that if you try
to hide a problem, it can come back right in your face.
try something like PageFileUsageMonitor to know exactly how this swap is
in use.
XP can do with 512 Megs of ram, 300 of page file, seamonkey browser +
mail & news, many windows, acrobat reader also.
curiously an other PC XP with 1 Gb of ram, can do with no swap, but
prefers to have 300 megs also. I suspect XP not very fine at using the swap.
