I heard you originally had Java 1.3 which is no surprise you were having problems with LW. Have you defragmented your hard disk drive (HDD) recently? It is probably a good idea to do this. That will help to speed up your computer.
Also, you better ask your brother how to locate the recycle bin otherwise it is probably very full. Meaning your HDD will probably be getting too full. And that can slow down your computer greatly.
I don't know how to find your Defragger on XP but using windows 2000 you can find it such as the image below shows. It's probably the same for XP. |
