Computer Help, Please!!!

Posted: 2/13/05 at 8:16pm

My new laptop has 512 Mg of Ram and a 1.4 Intel Gig Processor. I can have Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox open and it works just fine, but when I launch RealPlayer and start to play a .mp3 file, the PC starts to move REAL SLOW.

My old laptop had only 184 mg of RAM with a 700 mg Processor--and I could open all three programs just fine.

Anybody have any ideas?

Oh, I'm running XP Professional.

Thanks!!!

Well, RealPlayer is known for sticking a few unecessary processes in there, but it shouldn't be slowing down your computer that much. You can just do what I do and use iTunes to play your music.

Plum, unfortunately, I think iTunes is MAC OS-Specific... is there a Windows version?

Sure. I'm on Windows. It should be right there at iTunes.com or whatever.
