your more than welcome legriff
i wasn,t trying to come off as mr. know it all sorry about that lol
just as you i too am a survivor from a major attack 5 yrs ago due to over stressing.
i ran two computers shops till my attack and one of the things that i ran across alot of is the bottle necking effect.
people would bring in pc,s and want them upgraded and i would try and explain that we could do small upgrades.
but in the long run it was cheaper to just build a new pc fit to their needs .
the pc you have is fine for slower programs built for that model but not for today's programs.
if it is a hardware problem try replacing it with the same type of parts not upgraded parts.

to start with
refurbished Dell Optiplex GX260, xp prov2002,pentium® 4 cpu225ghz, 227 ghz 1 gb ram, windows xp disc that came with computer
is such a low end pc and then
there is such a thing in the tech world called bottle necking.
that is when you have a fast possessor/os/ video/ lots of ram even a fast hard drive.
all it takes is one thing to slow everything down .
lets say you have a fast motherboard lots of ram and fast hard-drive great sound card but a low end video.
there is your problem low end video.
your video card cant handle the amount of info coming from the board into the possessor etc etc etc.
it has always been a rule of thumb to match all of your components vid/sound/board/possessor/hard-drive/power supply.
one thing not matching or even close to it can causes problems and headaches.
this is why big company's sell so well and other company's don't sell worth a crap.
the big company's will spend more and match their components because they can afford it.
the other company's will use second grade components just to get it out the door.
you buy it thinking you have a great pc you get it home it runs great---------till you put a game on it or a program and booom bottleneck .
there are so many programs out now that need the bare minimum of 1gig just to run thats not even counting what you have running in the background to start with..
it,s like riding around in a 4 cylinder car and you stop and pick up a big legged ole gal and i do mean a big ole gal.
and start up a hill somebody is going to end up walking half way up that hill .
hope this helps clear it up for you my advise stop playing around with those low end pc,s figure out what kind of programs or game you want to run and either build or buy a pc that matches your needs

https://celebrity.yahoo.com/blogs/celeb-news/robin-williams-dead-of-apparent-suicide-at-63-231414092.html
Robin Williams, the manic comic who morphed from TV's Mork from Ork to Oscar-winning glory, is dead of an apparent suicide. He was 63.Emergency personnel were called to Williams's home in Tiburon, California, at 11:55 a.m. local time, per the Marin County Sheriff's Office.Williams was found unconscious and pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are investigating the death, and an autopsy is forthcoming, but initial evidence points to "a suicide due to asphyxia," according to Marin Sheriff's Lt. Keith Boyle.In a brief statement, publicist Mara Buxbaum said Williams had been "battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time."View gallery.Robin and wife Susan Schneider (Paul Zimmerman/WireImage)Robin and wife Susan Schneider (Paul Zimmerman/WireImage)"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend," said Williams's wife, Susan Schneider."While the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."In July, Williams entered rehab for the second time, but not because of a relapse."After working back-to-back projects, Robin is simply taking the opportunity to fine-tune and focus on his continued commitment, of which he remains extremely proud," the actor's publicist said at the time.Williams reportedly spent a few weeks at Hazelden Addiction Treatment Center in Minnesota.The actor spoke publicly about his battle with substance abuse. In 2006, he sought treatment for alcoholism after 20 years of sobriety. A rep for the actor said in a statement that Robin "found himself drinking again and has decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family."During an interview with Good Morning America months later, Williams explained that falling back into alcohol abuse was "very gradual.""It's the same voice thought that… you're standing at a precipice and you look down, there's a voice and it's a little quiet voice that goes, 'Jump,'" Williams told Diane Sawyer. "The same voice that goes, 'Just one.' … And the idea of just one for someone who has no tolerance for it, that's not the possibility."When asked why he relapsed, Robin answered: "It's [addiction] — not caused by anything, it's just there… It waits. It lays in wait for the time when you think, 'It's fine now, I'm OK.' Then, the next thing you know, it's not OK. Then you realize, 'Where am I? I didn't realize I was in Cleveland.'"The actor admitted he also struggled with cocaine abuse in the early 1980s while starring in the sitcom Mork and Mindy, but quit cold turkey after his friend John Belushi's fatal overdose in 1982."Cocaine for me was a place to hide," Williams told People in 1988. "Most people get hyper on coke. It slowed me down. Sometimes it made me paranoid and impotent, but mostly it just made me withdrawn. And I was so crazy back then — working all day, partying most of the night — I needed an excuse not to talk. I needed quiet times and I used coke to get them."A Chicago native, Williams spent time at Juilliard, where he was briefly classmates with Christopher Reeve.After an appearance on NBC's Richard Pryor Show, he got his big break, playing the wacky alien Mork in what was supposed to be a one-off guest role on ABC's Happy Days. "We started rehearsing and I realized that I was in the presence of greatness," star Henry Winkler recalled on CNN Monday night. "No matter what you said to him, no matter what line you gave to him, he took it in he processed it and it flew out of his mouth never the same way twice and it was incredibly funny every time."[Related: Remembering Robin Williams's Best TV Moments]The character proved so popular that he commanded his own spinoff. Mork & Mindy, costarring Pam Dawber and Jonathan Winters, became a phenomenon, spiking sales of rainbow-colored suspenders and adding "nanu-nanu" and "shazbot" to the lexicon. The sitcom ran from 1978 to 1982.Williams made the leap to film with a string of wildly successful movies, showcasing a range beyond the motor-mouthed improvisation he built his standup career on: The World According to Garp, Moscow on the Hudson, Awakenings, The Birdcage, Mrs. Doubtfire, Patch Adams, and Insomnia. He carved out a rich career as a voice-over actor in such animated features as Aladdin, Happy Feet, Robots, and FernGully.He earned Oscar nods for Dead Poets Society, The Fisher King, and Good Morning, Vietnam, before finally capturing the elusive statuette by upstaging Matt Damon and Ben Affleck with a touching supporting role in Good Will Hunting.Among the films he completed before his death were May's The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, with Peter Dinklage and Mila Kunis, and the upcoming Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, where he reprised his role of Teddy Roosevelt in the Ben Stiller-led franchise. The latter is slated to open in December.Despite being one of Hollywood's most bankable movie stars, Williams never forgot his TV roots. Through the years he fronted several standup concerts and joined with Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal to launch the Comic Relief television specials. Williams also made memorable appearances on Friends, Homicide: Life on the Street, Law & Order: SVU, and The Larry Sanders Show.such a great guy. it will truly be a great lose to the world.so sad that he felt that he had to take his own life. when i read it i felt like i was cheated out of something just felt like a hole open up inside myself.R I P

At a dinner party, several of the guests were arguing whether men or women were more trustworthy. "No woman,"
said one man, scornfully, "can keep a secret."
"I don't know about that," huffily answered a woman guest.
"I have kept my age a secret since I was twenty-one."
"You'll let it out some day," the man insisted.
"I hardly think so!" responded the lady. "When a woman has kept a secret for twenty-seven years, she can keep it forever."-

The 70-year-old man sat down in the orthopedic surgeon's office. "You know, Doc," he said, "I've made love in more exotic cars than anyone I know. Must be at least a thousand."
"And now, I suppose, you want me to treat you for the arthritis you got from scrunching up in all those uncomfortable positions," the medic said.
"Hell, no," the old fellow replied. "I want to borrow your Lamborghini."-

A couple of blonde men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One of the blonde men walked in the office and said, "We need some four-by-twos."
The clerk said, "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?"
The man said, "I'll go check," and went back to the truck.
He returned a minute later and said, "Yeah, I meant two-by-fours."
"All right. How long do you need them?"
The customer paused for a minute and said, "I'd better go check."
After a while, the customer returned to the office and said, "A long time. We're gonna build a house."-

The young lady entered the doctor's office carrying an infant. "Doctor,"
she explained, "the baby seems to be ailing. Instead of gaining weight, he lost three ounces this week." The medic examined the child and then started to squeeze the girl's breasts. He then unbuttoned her blouse, removed the bra and began powerfully sucking on one nipple. "Young lady,"
he finally announced, "no wonder the baby is losing weight, you haven't any milk!" "Of course not!" she shrieked. "It's not my child, it's my sister's!"-

"What's the difference between the North American porcupine and the African porcupine," the society matron asked the zookeeper.
"The principal difference is the North American species has a longer prick."
This, as you might assume, distressed the matron who stormed immediately to the zoo manager's office. The zoo manager said, "Ma'am, I apologize for my staff's unfortunate choice of terms. What the keeper should have said is the North American species has a longer *quill*. In fact, their pricks are just about the same size."-

Two Irishmen were digging a ditch directly across from a brothel.
Suddenly, they saw a rabbi walk up to the front door, glance around and duck inside. "Ah, will you look at that?" One ditch digger said.
"What's our world comin' to when men of th' cloth are visitin' such places?"
A short time later, a Protestant minister walked up to the door and quietly slipped inside. "Do you believe that?" The workman exclaimed.
"Why, 'tis no wonder th' young people today are so confused, what with the example clergymen set for them."
After an hour went by, the men watched as a Catholic priest quickly entered the whore house. "Ah, what a pity," the digger said, leaning on his shovel. "One of th' poor lasses must be ill."-

Cinderella was all set to go to the huge ball, but she was having a severe
case of PMS. She was crabby and pissy and moody and generally not in the
partying spirit. Well, her fairy-godmother again came to her rescue by
providing Cinderella with a magic tampon. The fairy-godmother said, "Put
this in and your PMS will be gone. Just remember, you have to be home by
the stroke of midnight or the magic tampon will turn into a pumpkin and
that is gonna be painful as hell to get out."
So, off Cinderella went to the ball in a great mood ready to dance the
night away. Midnight comes and goes, however, and no Cinderella. Her
fairy-godmother is worried to death. 1..2...3 am and no sign of Cinderella.
Finally she comes home at 4 am. The fairy-godmother was distraught. "What
on earth happened to you?" she said. "What about the magic tampon. I've
been worried sick about you."
"Oh don't worry," Cinderella replied. "I met this really great guy named
Peter-Peter."-

http://news.yahoo.com/sneaky-malware-hides-windows-registry-195829292.htmlA new piece of malware called Poweliks can seize control of a Windows computer — and it can't be detected by antivirus programs. That's because it doesn't download any files to the infected computer; instead, it resides as encrypted text in the computer's registry. From there it can seize control of the computer's processes to do things such as download more malware onto the computer.
Poweliks is all but invisible to traditional antivirus programs, which work by searching for recognized malware files — a potentially very dangerous situation, said malware researcher Paul Rascagnères.
"As the malware is very powerful and can download any payload, the amount of possible damage is not really measurable," Rascagnères, a threat researcher with Bochum, Germany-based antivirus company G Data, wrote in a company blog post.
MORE: 7 Scariest Security Threats Headed Your Way
Poweliks, which has also been documented by Tokyo-based antivirus firm Trend Micro, has been spotted infecting computers via a corrupted Microsoft Word file attached to an email, but the file could spread in other ways as well. This is the best place that an antivirus program might be able to catch Poweliks, if the program scans for malicious email attachments, Rascagnères said.
If the malicious file is opened, it will create an encoded autostart registry key and hide it within the Windows registry, where the computer's configuration settings are stored. Every time the computer is booted, the key implements code that eventually reaches out to an external IP address controlled by the malware's creators. Through this connection, the creators can then issue further commands.
Rascagnères compared the attack's structure to Russian matryoshka nesting dolls: Poweliks targets the innermost "doll" of the computer, and uses that vantage point to compromise the entire device.
Poweliks appears to be a fairly recent creation, and it's not yet clear what the malware was created to do.
"It might install spyware on the infected computer to harvest personal information or business documents," Rascagnères wrote. "It might also install banking Trojans to steal money, or it might install any other form of harmful software that can suit the needs of the attackers. Fellow researchers have suggested that Poweliks is used in botnet structures and to generate immense revenue through ad-fraud."

A tall woman met a midget at a party. The midget was barely three feet tall but they were attracted to each other.
After a few drinks they went back to the tall woman's apartment.
"I can't imagine what it will be like making love to a midget,"
said the woman, "especially with the size difference and all."
"Just take off your cloths, lie back on the bed, spread your legs apart and close your eyes," said the midget.
The woman did as she was told and soon she felt the biggest thing she'd ever experienced inside her.
Within a few minutes the woman had climaxed eight times.
"If you think that was good," said the midget with a smirk, "Just wait till I get BOTH legs in there!"-

http://news.yahoo.com/scariest-usb-hack-time-almost-completely-undetectable-192433864.html
The scariest USB hack of all-time is almost completely undetectableWhen you plug a USB stick into your laptop, you probably aren’t too worried about it completely taking over your computer. However, Ars Technica reports that researchers at Security Research Labs in Berlin are scheduled to unveil a new exploit at the Black Hat conference in Las Vegas next week that will allow an infected USB stick to take over your computer and use it to execute malicious code.
The researchers have found a way to hack USB sticks so that once you plug them into your computer, it can make your machine “act as a network card that causes connected computers to connect to malicious sites impersonating Google, Facebook or other trusted destinations.” And this technique doesn’t just work with standard USB sticks but also with Android phones, cameras, keyboards and pretty much any device you can connect to your machine through a USB port.
“If you put anything into your USB, it extends a lot of trust,” Karsten Nohl, Security Research Labs’ chief scientist, explained to Ars. “Whatever it is, there could always be some code running in that device that runs maliciously. Every time anybody connects a USB device to your computer, you fully trust them with your computer. It’s the equivalent of [saying] ‘here’s my computer; I’m going to walk away for 10 minutes. Please don’t do anything evil.”
Worst of all, this sort of malicious activity is almost impossible to detect through conventional means, as virus scans done with machines infected via the USB exploit will turn up nothing. The researchers have found that the only way to effectively figure out whether a device is infected is to take it apart and reverse engineer it.

old Doberman
in The Fun & Laughs Section
Posted · Report reply
The old Doberman thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep trouble now!"
Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old Doberman exclaims loudly,
Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.
"Whew!," says the panther, "That was close! That old Doberman nearly had me!"
Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes.
The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.
The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!"
Now, the old Doberman sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?," but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old Doberman says .......
"Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!"
Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery..!
Bull Shit and Brilliance only come with Age and Experience.
