computer keeps locking up
I am not really sure where to post this, because I'm not sure what the problem is. We have went into our downloads and got rid of most of them I have tried to fragmentize but it says there is only 2 0/0 space available and I need 15 0/0. This problem started 2 days ago, the screen locks up about every 5 minutes, sometimes not even logged on that long.
I have a Dimension 4300S, Pentium 4, 256 ram.
Please advise.

Since you need these startup items to be running all the time in order for your computer to work properly, make sure there is always a check mark next to all of these startup items.
If you don't see one or two these items in your list of startup items, that's cool. For example, some people may not have a LoadPowerProfile while others may have two. The big thing to remember is that you don't want to uncheck any of these files if you have them.
The rest of the startup items, however, are completely optional. Whether you leave these optional startup items on or turn them off is completely up to you. A good rule of thumb is to disable only those programs that you recognize and don't need to have running all the time. When in doubt, leave it on. Or, better still, check out Paul "PacMan" Collins' huge "Startup Applications" list at http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/startup_full.htm
