After fresh install of XP home- freezes up if I am away from it for a short while. While I am using it, it is fine. Any suggestions? Thanks- Andy
 
Found my own answer after much searching on this site and others. Seems my Norton takes up a significant
amount of memory while running in the task bar. I emptied out my task bar and BINGO! No more problem.
I will increase my ram memory to help combat this in the future. Also- as a side note. My computer froze up when I was working in microsoft Office word. I had to sut off the auto spell/grammer check that would run while I was typing
It seems this too, taxed my memory and froze me up. Good luck to all. Andy
