What do I do when my Toshiba laptop desktop freezes up but the start menu still works?
After my Toshiba laptop has been on for a couple of hours, the icons on the desktop stop working. I can still get to everything through my start menu but I have the shortcuts on my desktops for a reason, the ease of getting to them. If I restart my computer everything works again but I was wondering if there is a better solution out there. Any suggestions?
Re-installing Windows should fix it, but that’s a bit extreme.
First, make sure there’s at least 3 or 4 GB of free space on the hard drive. Then, if it still gives trouble, try increasing the page file size.
De-fragmenting the hard drive can help too.
Presumbly you have up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware software on your computer, and presumably you run it from time to time… Do you?
If – after doing the above – it’s still crap, then a Windows re-install is the answer.
If it’s old but you want to keep it, you could put more RAM in it. That should help – but only once you’ve fixed any under-lying problems.
p.s. I can’t help but laugh at the superstitious black magic being espoused by Kathryn above…
p.p.s. Use Firefox (www.mozilla.org) as your web browser and not Internet Explorer. That’ll make a big difference on any computer!
