I wouldent pay for pro. However, are you sure that your memory isent close to it's end? I don't have all kinds of fancy components on my laptop but I know that I don't have much memory left, although some, and until this happened my limwire was fine. Now it almost freezes everything when I open it, it's so slow. And sometimes it makes my music skip over and over and over! and I have to just wait or exit everything else I am working on. So maybe if you release the things that take up memory that you may not be using, or it is another problem. I hope I have helped somewhat. I am only half computer literate so I only know of the obvious things, lol.
