Why so slow and keep locking up :( LL 2.6

[torreydale]

It might be simpler to for you to kill a task using the Task Manager (Menu, System, Task Manager).  You can right click on the task running VLC and use options from there.

You didn't go into more detail on the slowness you're experiencing.  Can you do that please?

You shouldn't be running a 64 bit OS on 512MB of RAM. And Atom processors can't even handle 64bit. I'm surprised it installed. Up the RAM if you can, and reload LL in 32 bit.

Does not the the writer say at the beginning he has circa 3GB of Ram?  Also the spec suggests quad core  Intel Atom D525?.  If I understand correctly.  That should be not a donkey but a race horse .  Did you try and install from a DVD or from a USB.  On my desktop I had repeated problems with the read speed of the DVD and so the install did not run smoothly.  Changed to a USB install and all went well.    The Manual is your friend here regarding the NVDIA.

Might I suggest that you download the iso again. I chose 32 bit as I was advised that there was little advantage of using the 64 bit for my my spec of 3GB RAM HP deskop.  Do the checksum to see all is OK and use the USB route??

Sorry. I saw this:
MINIMUM RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS:
CPU: 700MHz processor
RAM: 512mb ram
RESOLUTION: VGA screen 1024x768 resolution

And thought it was his specs. And I see that is one Atom processor that does handle 64 bits. My fault.

Thanks all
I going to reload see this that makes any difference, if not them have to not use LL. 
When computer locksup no thing works so can open Task Manager then X on window don't work noir can I open Terminal to use xkill.

I'm running LL 64bit on similar setup except Video...
My stuff:

LL 2.6 Dell Optiplex 160 (Thin) - Atom 230 1.6Ghz-4GB- SiS 771/671 PCIE VGA

I'd 2nd a corrupt install or a faulty driver??
How well does it run with out running video???
Reboot - Launch easy stuff.. example..LLCC, Libre Office, Firefox (do searches)

Not originally. He said

CPU: 700MHz processor
RAM: 512mb ram
RESOLUTION: VGA screen 1024x768 resolution

and that was it. Minimum requirements was added later as well as specs after I answered with my reply. Added way later on in fact. I am going to delete my posts because of these edits. My reply would have been a lot different if this info would have been present then.

I am beginning to wonder if this isn't the same computer from this post: https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/on-to...wing-down/
with the same failing hard drive.

This was from some time ago.  With 4GB Ram and the right set of drivers on LL it should fly!!
