My computer is slow and freezes at times when I am on the internest.

Sounds like the wireless card on board is faulty or the antenna

YouTube freeze can happen due to many reasons. Major reasons are overload on website, simultaneous running of many programs on your computer, Low RAM, Slow internet connection or corrupt windows registry.

For smooth watching of YouTube Videos take following actions:
1. Watch videos at off peak times, if possible

2. Do not run other programs while watching videos. They slow down computer in general by making use of memory.

3. Add RAM on your computer. More RAM will make easy execution of heavy programs on your system.

4. Get better and speedy internet connection. Talk to your ISP in this regard.

5. Regularly clean windows registry. Windows registry is vital place that stores information for important computing functions. A congested or corrupted windows registry makes computer slow that causes YouTube like freezes. For this, get the best registry cleaner reg in out and optimizer. Use it once in a fortnight for fast computing to avoid YouTube freezes and system slow down.

You may want to look into upgrading your RAM if there is less than 2GB installed. This is a recommendation that I have found in working with several PC's running this Operating System. Also, you would want to run disk clean up and remove any temporary files that Windows finds. Deleting any other temporary or unused files from your PC on a regular basis should increase system performance. In addition, if these steps do not solve your problem, you may want to consider upgrading to a faster performance hard drive (preferably a SATA II with a 32MB cache). As a last resort, you may look at your CPU to see if there is an upgrade for it, as well. Keep in mind that Vista is a resource hog and can slow down a PC within just a short period of time.

Kind regards

the problem is u have a lot stored on the pc memory and when this are much it slow down your computer so what u need to do is check your desktop and delet some things u no longer needs or dont open too much pages on your home page this can make your pc slow down ok,thnks .

There are several reasons for a slow computer:

1. Processor speed
2. Memory size
3. Too many program running

If your computer used to run fine, then it could be that there is too much running now for it to handle, in which case either a cleanup or upgrade (or both) is in order. Based on the specs from the CNET website, the Dimension 3000 comes with a Celeron D 2.4 GHz processor and 256MB of RAM (Memory).

If this is the case, then your memory needs to be upgraded at the very minimum. Anything less than 1 GB (1024 MB) just doesn't cut it anymore.

I would also HIGHLY suggest looking at the programs you have running in the system tray (bottom right corner of the screen) to see how many programs you have running, you might check to see if all of those are necessary.

Do Internet Explorer update or use Mozilla Firefox (that is similar to Explorer) instead of Internet Explorer.

Download and reinstall internet Explorer from website below:


Internet Explorer: Get It Now

Or use mozilla instead of internet explorer:

Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client

Perhaps there's something that is running in the background that is slowing your machine down?
Another thing that might help you is to empty your cache memory.

is your vista much up with your system specification? vista requires minimum 512mb RAm. check for it.

You can use these drivers by extracting them to a seperate folder then telling your computer NOT to search for a driver during the driver installation applet, you choose the driver to install then point to the folder where you extracted THESE DRIVERS HERE.
