Well it is a laptop, and it is ~3,5 years old.

To help you indentify the problem: windows 7, 32 bit (<- it is strange but true grin )Installed RAM 4 gb. Virtual ram recommended: ~4500mb, allocated: ~4000mb or 8000mb (I am not expert at this, this is what system properties said). It is not the virtual ram I think, but it might be outdated drivers or such. Then again not my expertise.
