For example, when I click on Firefox it will open it up and a good amount of the time it will freeze for 2-3 seconds before I can use the program. My first guess is that it's a memory problem but I am not running any high maintenance programs and I have an okay processor (i5 430 4 GB RAM). It will also do this if I am opening up a folder.
Is there any way to correct this? I think there was a setting in the program that let me optimize memory but it didn't seem to help.
