So random programs will lockup and give me the 'program not responding' message whenever I try to open a file with said program.

It's been an inconvenience 'til now, but it's getting worse and sometimes I can't upload files etc from my computer with firefox.

If you need any more information ask.

Could be that you're running low on memory. In which case you should turn off some of the more useless background programs that you might have that startup when or OS starts. Check Task Manager Processes to see what's using up the most memory.

Or you've got viruses. In which case, reformat.

I always have control of whats running in the background, and I keep it to a minimum, and I have avast! on, and I scan once a week. So uhh... Yeah everyone tells me it's one of these two but I have both in check.

Sorry for the double post and all that, but here's two pictures, first one showing the action, second one showing the result. It's not just firefox, this was just a good example of what happens.

Err... Ironically if someone can find a way for me to get the files up, I try www.tinypic.com, www.photobucket.com, www.imageshack.us, this upload, everything, and the program will lock up trying to browse to upload the file...

And I can't send it to someone else to upload because again when I browse for the file the program freezes.
