First you may want to look at what your browser is, what the size of the download is, what type of internet speed you have, RAM, etc. You stated that the computer "...is always freezing up especially when attempting downloads or upgrades." This may be a virus, malware, spyware, etc. But you can easily tell if your hardware does not meet Vista standards by going to the My Computer Properties. You can do so by right clicking on My Computer and going to "Properties." If you have a possible Virus and/or Virus', Malware, Spyware, etc. you can fix this by downloading AVG Anti-Virus 7.5.503 here: http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10761481.html?tag=pop.software and Spybot Search and Destroy 1.5 here: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search-Destroy/3000-8022_4-10743107.html?tag=pop.software If none of this works you can email me at will.liljon@gmail.com.
