this problem started before that though:
when i open internet explore or windows media player, the screen just frozes somethimes. i need to force shut down everytime. even the system stopped functioning because the music stops.
i have:
Windows XP
Media Center 2002
SP2
Dell DIM9100
Pentium D CPU 3.20GHzx2
3.5 GB RAMx2
it's a new computer
also, i have a 80 GB hard drive...but it only says 69.7 GB on my hard drive
and when i go into my hard drive and select all, including hidden files, it says 14.9 BG total size, but it says i've used 20.5GB/69.7GB. do i have too many programs? :/
i want to delete some useless programs, but i don't know which ones are usefull...
