How much RAM do you have? How about virtual memory size? System services? Too many things loaded at start up?

 

theres like 256ram

no other programs open, I'm in administrator and everything, I don't get it!! I won't let me install shit or "add printer" nothing...

 

wtf....what happens when you try to install the driver for the printer?

 

Try to install Service Pack 2.

 

I think I installed it already, I'l try again, but shes on dailup!! ugggggg.....

 

Reboot it. Try again.

 

:slap: no sh!t sherlock

 

if its not on ur desktop doesn't mean its no open....check whats open in task manager, maybe there is something there thats eating up ur ram and check how much free free ram u have......also check the swap file size make sure its 1.5 times larger then the amount of ram u have...256 = 384...i

 

nope, it's something deeep inside "administration" I think....

it's really pissin' me off
