Post by: Del Boy on 24 August 2010, 18:21:13

how long have you had the pc? i used to format windows between once and twice a year to keep the pc running fast, just use Linux now, much better!

Could be a memory leak somewhere, try adjusting the browser cache size or set the upper and lower virtual memory to the same :y
