Thank you, Toomas, but the problem is that I can't bring up the task manager and I don't open the windows that accumulate in task bar when I try to shut down, they open on their own. I uninstalled the Norton that came with the computer and loaded my own Norton system Works 2003. I also shut down any running programs before using scan chk, defragment, etc. Tech support for HP hasn't been much help on this. they want me to do a non-destructive sys restore. the last time I did that it "DESTROYED" everything! I've checked with the store I bought it from and they said they would either return my money or fix it if I can't resolve the issue on my own. The extended warranry I bought was well worth the price!

You have too many windows open and probably too many programs running. I have
not
tested (I have "only" 2GHz 512kB computer) but I think that on WinXP with that
configuration
about 5 programs and 20-30 windows maximum.
Another problem is what applications You run. As you mentioned Norton I can
say that
version what come with computer of Norton Internet Security is scrap because
it
made computer very slow specially surfing in Internet. Look on task manager
what process
takes most of CPU time.

"As many as 144 programs have opened at the same time while trying to shut
down after freezing." I should have said; As many as 144 windows have opened.
Sorry. I felt the correction might help toward finding a solution to the
problem
