Try using the camera on another application to see if it freezes there to. If it still freezes then it could be some software that is running in the background. If it doesn't freeze on another application then you know its a problem with MSN.

If it does still freeze then go into msconfig from your start menu by typing "msconfig" in the search box or the run option depending on what operating system your running.

You would click on the startup tab and then disable all to disable all the programs that startup when your boot up into windows.

Reboot the laptop and try the camera again, if it doesn't freeze then at least you know its a piece of software running in the background and you'll have to figure out which one is causing the problem.

If it still freezes then you know its either a problem with the camera or a problem with windows.

It freezes because one of the programs set to start at boot crashes. To identify which immediately after booting open Task Manager and look at the processes - one should reach 99% CPU use. Once you have found it stop it from launching at boot or just uninstall it.

2005 relic PC day. XP the virus magnet slow doing what? , guess ALL. all do that , with HDD for sure , HDD slows with age, is a fact. all old PCs are slow compared to new PC so buy newer better PC reliable /safe only happens in hands of pro, why want that ? and ask here we can';t turn the screw driver and not wreck FFC cables.! if ram is too small buy more ram, none told what compression?, that is not good, never compress the hdd. wow ! no OS told we can not guess OS, windows what? causes of slow, all. (besides scrap it) no order.

• HDD is bad failing smart tests. (and will die soon) 10 years old hdd are mostly all bad now, you are the LUCKY ONE.
• HDD is full , clean out files, not needed, like downloaded endless videos for sure.
• put in SSD boot drive, and reload the OS to it. or clone HDD.
• more Ram ? 2GB is max on this Pig gaming.etc. OOPS fail.
• remove not used APPS for sure in the startup folder,for sure.
• in task manager, make sure ram is not full and CPU not overloaded to 100% if yes this must be cured.
• I bet RAM is fiull, 2GB is tiny. easy to fill up , the CPU is slow a Duo processor, Intel Core Solo processor!
• do not clone any bad HDD that fails smart tests.
• this XP PC the last one on earth running and is infected as all are and infections make PC run slower or worse, there is always worse here,(topic)
• it ran for 10 years, be happy, buy i3 and up based PC. win

Larry provides great answer up there ^^^ which is better down here. Larry Ng Jun 23, 2022 NO PC told (dell has 10000 models) no OS told, windows what"? no drive told. my wild wild guess is the boot drive is locked. and you are attempting and ******* act. to it. like deleting key parts of a running OS (windows) (like deleted tires on rims of 85mph moving car, fails) no real goal told, but the nebular "install HDD" one can add a 2nd drive easy or any of 1000s of external HDD models or external or internal, SSD or even a thumb drive. (vast) (just 2 steps in fact) but the boot drive , change out is far far far more complex. and you never not told that. you want to mess with the C: drive? now let me guess the real goal (sad I must) the OS drive windows is failing ( common) and some lil' bird told you it needs a new boot drive, and then fail to say so here. okay I will bite. 1: buy a new SSD (hdd fail and are slow) 2: buy a new OS, from MS. or get free w10. (ask how) 3: then put in new SSD, 4: run the w10 installer media (it is free) 5: load w10 to the SSD fresh 6: answer the silly 30 questions it asks. 7: and click activate. (buy it) ..

S/N , serial numbers????, FB uses NO such thing,! I guess you meant , email address and or Pass words (pass phrase) your PC can be trained ,(NO browers told by you) to store PASSWORDS, on any site on earth if enabled, if not , NOT. Internet explorer (MS) is now banned at most sites and MS has dropped support for IE1 to 11. so forget that. (EDGE IS new) use Chrome or better, FireFox V100 + up. in firefox. click settings , click privacy . Ask to save logins and passwords for websites https://www.facebook.com/help/search?helpref=search&query=serial%20numbers it is true some ,on line , accounts limit devices, like netflix and is a kinda serial number, ID, hidden FB shows no such thing in the search box. they abuse your rights. https://www.npr.org/2019/07/24/741282397/facebook-to-pay-5-billion-to-settle-ftc-privacy-case and even punishments.

to what, no PC told no OS told windows locked you out BIOS admin, or HDD locked or power on locked out?<< all bios. or bitlocker locked out or any of its 100 clones

can;t log in now or what? what does change mean, lost it and now can not get in or means just want to change it , logged in. NO PC told and NO OS told or if bios admin or windows admin. bios or windows. both are hacking./ if lost. so google the cure.

so PC runs perfect right , just email bad. right? your browser can visit many websites ok? yes /no? if yes, good , if no, wifi is dead. fix WIFI forget email now. so can you login at life.com or not. live is both email and more even the cloud and the STORE. if only live fails ask MS to fix it. live is them, them only

push the physical cd drive try button marked EJECT the PC must be running, or use the paper clip hole trick. (if PC is dead or tray jammed) google that. clip trick the dell manuals covers this

if a row is not working, in this case at an angle, it usually means either the keyboard is going bad, or the cable is not in right. Often unplugging and replugging the keyboard into the MB will fix a missing row.
