FIrst off, IE9 isn't going to work very well with XP, if it works at all. It is not recommended, to much difference in the code between XP -vista/ win7) Second when you say freezing, what exactly are you trying to do? There is a lot of stuff going on with a few backbone providers especially with videos,,, They are cutting large users bandwidth ( net flix for one, netflix has just agreed to pay for direct access after they saw the impact on their users) . Keeping you cache clean( ccleaner ) is a good point,, How many tools bares you got hanging around on xp,,What AV program or malware programs are you using. AVG guard has a big impact even on newer machines on system performance..

Hi George, when i go to web sites with IE sometimes it freezes and I shut down and start again. I use ccleaner and malwarebytes also have microsoft essentials which will also finish soon.I used AVG for years but when i got this computer a year ago the shop put micro essentials on so i left it.I scan and clean regular Doreen
