See if THIS applies.

It is happening with only 1 program open. In your 1st e-mail to me you said that I needed more free space. What could be taking up space? Plus, I suppose I'm a computer illiterate because I don't even understand what the 4236mb total is. Sorry, but I need to know how to free up more space.

With only 247 MB of RAM, you'll always be experiencing such issues. XP needs at least 512 MB and even 1 GB for proper operation. Your computer must be slow as a snail. You'll need to add more RAM.

Thank you but that doesn't explain why this is the 1st time I've had these problems. I'm talking about having only Comcast homepage up and not even being able to receive videos from there. Logically, it would seem more likely that one of my memory sticks has gone bad. no?

HijackThis would certainly help us diagnose your problem.

However, with 247 MB of RAM, no matter how many times you change your RAM stick, it's still a meagre 247 MB. Surely not enough for XP.

The more programs/updates/devices you add , the more memory it takes to run them. It`s sorta like "The Straw that broke the camels back". With only 247mb , eventually you`ll get to a point where the memory load is too high for anything but small programs that use little memory to run.
Press : CTRL>ALT>DEL to bring up task manager, select : PERFORMANCE, look at PHYSICAL MEMORY> TOTAL and AVAILABLE. What does it say?
