What software are you using and what is the spec of your PC.

If we knew that, them maybe, just maybe we could advise you.

It's possible that your PC is not fast enough,or you have something that
is running in the background and using up resources. Can you tell us the
spec of your gateway PC please.

Go to: Start/Accessories/SystemTools/SystemInfo.

It's all in there.

It looks like the machine could be low on memory. XP will work with
512MB of ram, but not too well with video applications that seem to need
a lot of memory. I would be inclined to suggest you upgrade to at least
1GB of ram if you intend doing video work, but also look into what is
running in the background when the PC is idle. Just do a ctrl/alt/delete
key press and click on processes to bring up a list of what's running
and post it here.

John.
