Help with lockup

I concur with Fyron, although I'd nuke non-essential background apps first, myself.

Also, your system should be dandy for SE4, I think. Upgrading OS would probably be likely to cause problems rather than solve them, I would think.

Thanks for the info, folks. Ill try those suggestions. I dont plan to upgrade the OS until I absolutely have to; this one seems to work just fine. I have nothing other than essential stuff in the systray or in the background, so I think Ill go for reinstall first, then switching off the animations, then going to 800x600. Again, thanks a lot :-)
