Just realized that my system is now working as crisply and smoothly as if it was new! First time in months!
I closed all my applications for the purpose of the scan and the only one that I have not turned back on is Webshots Desktop. So this is clearly the guilty one! And it makes sense because I added a whole new load of photographs after our Easter holidays, and again after our summer holidays... Which would explain why it was getting worse and worse. It's a great application which I love, but I have far too many photos on it!
Well, thank you all for your help! Much appreciated!

Windows XP Creativity Fun Pack PowerToys Wallpaper Changer One big difference between that and Webshots is that it doesn't make a whole new store of the pictures it uses but only pulls them from a directory defined by the user,

By the way, you're absolutely right about scanningprocess.exe!
To be honest, I am tempted to remove the firewall and antivirus from my PC altogether. It's more hassle than is worth. I was running free ZA and AVG before and that was even worse than ZA Security Suite. I suppose you people are right in saying that I do not have enough RAM. Applications seem to have become hungrier and hungrier, so although my PC used to run smoothly and crisply, it does not anymore.
It's absolutely fine right now, but it takes forever to settle down after I first start it!

Quote from: BlueRhizome PS: Actually, XP runs extremely well on 256MB!
But leaves next to nothing for applications to use. It all depends what you are using your PC for, but most apps these days will benefit from the extra memory.

Do you think the difference between 768MB RAM and 1024MB RAM is noticeable enought to justify paying £28.18 as opposed to £14.09?
Thanks for any advice!

Also - if you are determined to stay with Microsoft, neither 768M nor 1GB will be sufficient if
you "upgrade" to Vista.

I run Firefox, Thunderbird, MSN, ZoneAlarm Security Suite, BBCiPlayer, Word, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player, Ashampoo and occasionally Nero and Skype. That's about it.

The first 4 usually run all at once, and then I often have one of the others on top!

Personally, I just do do downloads - bypassing all this P2P stuff, so you don't need services choking up your memory.
See http://beebhack.wikia.com/wiki/Programs to download no time limit, none-DRM versions of BBC programs.
This works for all OS's including Linux and Mac's.
