Can anyone help? My WinXP Home hangs every once in a while. Usually there is
some file copying done when it happens. This phenomenon started after I once
ran some 5 or 6 7zip processes concurrently, which was too much for my
machine. Sometimes the computer hangs during 7zipping.
By "hangs" I mean that: the mouse works, but the taskbar buttons are dead. I
can select windows only if they are visible when the problem happens. And
then, some windows work and some don't. Windows Explorer windows are dead.
Bash windows (ntvdm) work as long as I can get to them. Firefox is dead, as
far as I recall.
