[QUOTE="Paul B., post: 343812, member: 32175"] Hi Tall, You installed Panda, I see, but you did not uninstall Mcafee. It's [COLOR=#ff0000]murder [/COLOR]on the system to run two AMs. They embed themselves very deeply and command a lot of resources when necessary. And they may be checking up on each other, making for an unmitigated disaster.

If you can up the RAM, do that, but most of the older laptop boards maxed out at 2GB. I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve.
