Strange but true

Guys i have a strange problem,
I upgraded to 3.0 ghz p4
Its temperature is well under control
Also i upgraded the ram to 400mhz which i later replaced

The problem is that the programs freeze, i mean not in the normal kind of way ,
Its only a certain but majority of Win Gui applications which freeze including Firefox, Ms word, *Adobe Photosop, Corel Draw and Internet explorer,

And yes im able to change the tracks in winamp when either of these programs freeze
the startmenu also works like a dream
and i never had a freeze with Opera and
most importanly the Games NEVER freeze

Right now im running a clean install of xp with no drivers installed and only these software loaded, what do you think
could be the mystery solution to this problem

Im a programmer who develops finished applications myself.
I use prtd Vc++ to create apps, even though i would like to buy it,
I see no business or logical sense in making Sir Bill Gates richer by 400$ and myself poorer by 20000 Rs

Can you tell me how the world will be a better place if i buy
say a Visual Studio .net



PS..Funny how i see the "$" key on the keyboard and there's no "Rs" written on it anywhere

.NET is easy to create apps with if u know it fully !

It has a lot of tools !
(bout rs, well, buy an INDIAN KB)
