i know she isnt big on updating and keeping up with new versions of programs, lol.
i would imagine shes still using windows media player 7. as for flash, i have no
idea except its probably pretty old.
looking in the task managers processes tab would be helpful if i didnt know what
programs could "possibly" be running, but i know every program she has already. also
i noted the icons in the system tray and there were only yahoo messenger at the time
we was chatting, aside the volume control and network icon.
anti-virus programs can really make a computer crawl but she doesnt have one installed
or running.
btw i am not on windows me im on xp sp1.
92 mb of ram is indeed not alot. dont forget tho i was running a pc with only 68
mb ram and 4 gb max hd with about 2.5 free and i could still multi-task and watch
videos with little or no lagg.
her hard drive size? not sure what you mean there unless you mean maximum capacity
which is 1.96. if you mean physical deminsions tho i couldnt tell you.
thanks again for replying.
