unlocked, and some programs like firefox loaded, I can use those
ok.But tasks like opening up my home folder, another program or
unlocking the screen lock take ages and the machine becomes
unusable.I can't even do a proper shutdown/restart because the
response is too slow. Slow as in taking half an hour to do password
checking etc.. I have to switch it off at the power button.Can
someone help find the problem?I'm using an IBM ThinkCenter 3ghz, 1
gig memory and I've about 2 gigs of free space on my
partition.Regards,Zatlite> >

Could be Firefox (FF). Firefox has know memory bugs, see:

Try closing FF and leaving it on to see if that makes a difference.
