I try to keep my machine in good shape - defragged, cleaned, etc., - but I am unable to watch films or even listen to music any more. Windows Media Player either freezes or slows down to a point where it's ridiculous. I've been told that with my setup (including a relatively slow processor) I shouldn't be having these problems, but they exist anyway.

Setup: Intel Celeron @2400 MHz; Physical memory: 1280 MB; 2 HDs: 1) 41 GB, 30 GB available, 2) 400 GB, 344 avail. The HDs are not partitioned. I have about 50GB of music and films stored on the second drive. Windows XP, SP3.

Can anyone please help? Is the problem my processor (which would mean a new computer)? Is there more info you need to make an analysis?

Many thanks for any ideas, suggestions, etc.
