Help! Can you help me solve a slow computer? Add RAM?

I know I asked something about this before, but it has not resolved. Let me give some details of my PC a few months ago I put in my profile on this site:

MotionLE1600tablet, Windows XP has been installed own Sept 2010, Office 2003, IE 8, update drivers & programs, Security Essentials, SyncBack SE sync my Docs with my DELL 915 - desktop PC, on my shelf programs include: Seagate Mgr BU, cCleaner, Defraggler, AdvdX Video Converter, routed Brother 7820 w / Paperport & 2700 color laser printer, the active Agent for Outlook, MS ActiveSync, Format Factory Bluetooth, REVO Uninstaller, Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Acrobat, Acronis True Image home, Advanced X Video Convert,
From AoA Audio, ISO, Time Warner cable high speed internet, MalwareBytes AM

So my question: this Tablet PC seems to sometimes just stop responding while using IE and trying to enter text or something else. When that happens, I can't even start with a Ctrl-Alt-Del Task Manager. It seems to ignore this and cannot do anything. I can't click on start or anything like that. So, I just finally quit and force a reboot in now the switch for a few seconds.

Other signs of a problem are that sometimes this PC will take up VERY much time to start, but sometimes it starts very well.

I tried to note or to explore if there could be some activity going on in the background that uses up all of the RAM (or anything... I don't know that a lot of this stuff) and I don't think that's the problem. But I'm ready to explore that if anyone could tell me how the Explorer!

I have a few processes requiring low RAM they are running in the background for backup and changes to my Docs and they are saved on my hard drive MAXTOR One Touch USB. I also have a program called SyncBack SE that synchronizes the my Docs about this Tablet PC with those on my Dell 9150 desktop PC. All this is at home, and my tablet is never off the hook or taken anywhere. I probably just another desktop PC, since this is how it is used. I have always just sitting it here on its charging base with an external monitor, keyboard, mouse, Iomega CD/DVD-RW and MAXTOR backup hard drive hooked up to it. And it is connected to my range of colour laser printers and also my all-in-one scanner/printer/fax/copier running Paperport for scanning.

In addition, I have add the maximum RAM in this PC recently to try to help him with this problem, but it did not disappear. He of course helped it work better. I had max RAM to www.memoryx.net/mocolectapcm.html and if you look at this page, you will see that I now have 1.5 GB which was not recognized automatically, as I thought it would be, so someone on this site taught me to solve this problem.

So, my thought was that there is an intermittent failure was. But of course, I don't have any extra of $ just to send my tablet PC manufacturer that I bought NEW a few years ago. Mine is a LE1600 and now they show their new LE1700 to http://www.motioncomputing.com/support/support_le1700.asp. I had a serious accident a few years ago on someone's motorcycle MX and became disabled for life, and the franchise of real estate brokerage of Exit Realty I had built just after buying a franchise had to be closed. That put me off all hope for an income and he gave me $0 back on the $300,000 + that I had spent my mortgage to help put in place. And all this after I study my butt off and passed the test to win my own our Department of California real estate broker's license...         BOO HOO

Hi Jeff has Davis,

Method 1

Check if the problem persists in mode safe mode with networking mode and also check the event log for errors related to the issuance and publication.

Method 2

If the problem does not persist in mode safe mode with networking mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See section to learn more about how to clean boot.
