with games & streaming video Real Player especially. When I sometimes manage to shut down with start menu, message says program still running please click end task. Asus super7, AMD 400, 128mb. Maybe not enough memory or too slow. Thanks.

You're going to have to say a lot more then that. What's in your computer, what programs are freezing, etc... etc...

Try freeing-up some resources thru msconfig > startup. You may have too much going on in background. 128Mb RAM/400Mhz shouldn't be a prob.
Seems 'something' is using your RAM.
Check vcache settings [32768 for min & maxfile both,for 128Mb], Windows may be wasting time resizing cache.

Try Speedguide's Performance tips page to optimize your cache, settings, get patches, etc. [be sure to print-out the manual settings] and defrag first.
