i think it might either be because i have no more
memory (99% used) or because
i running of hard drive space (3.50gb left out of 80gb)....

my new pc is running like my first pc a emachines etower 366i 366mhz, 4.3gb hd, 32mb sdram

my new pc isn't so new i think it's 01' or 02' model (a compaq presario 6350us) what do u think??

Hmm... check that the drives are operating in DMA mode?

To ensure your drives are operating in DMA mode: (1) Control Panel, (2) System, (3) Goto the Hardware Tab, (4) Device Manager, (5) IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, (6) Right Click on Primary IDE Channel --> Properties, (7) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK,(8) Right Click on Seconady IDE Channel --> Properties, (9) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK, (10) Reboot.

I know windows is bad but its not that bad at memory management ... how exactly are you ascertaining a 99% physical memory usage?
