Alright here's my problem. When I download install files that are bigger than 400megs when they get to 99% everything in my computer freezes up. Then about 15mins later it goes to 100% and everything is unfrozen. Then when I go in the folder where I downloaded the file, the icon is simply a exe icon and when I delete or open everything freezes again for a while then maybe 15mins later it opens. Since I bought this computer I keep getting that problem and its getting on my nerves so please help.

Are you using an antivirus ?? may be you can turn off the av and then try what you are doing now.

Got enough memory? Could also be a fragmented drive possibly.

well I do have an anti-virus so I'll try that next time

I got 1gig of memory. Could also be a fragmented drive since I never defragmented my drives
