XP stops responding when saving a picture

Help!

When I try to save a picture in a browser

(IE6 or ybrowser or Firefox or Mozilla 7.2) the save dialog box 'greys-out' and the application enters a 'not repsonding' state. I have to end the task in Windows Task manager.

This has also happened when saving an image in Photoshop and Fireworks.

 

I have XP/PRO SP2

yes ... I have

1. cleared the cache

2. cleaned out any spyware

3. reloaded the browser

4. checked the registry (Error Nuker installed)

5. consulted a whole bunch of XP web site forums (or is that fora?)

 

...I am now open to more suggestions, gentlefolk

It sounds like a memory problem to me... SP2? yikes!

 

I had SP2 for 3 weeks and I was crawling the whole time, I uninstalled it and now I'm back to my fast box!

 

Yes, Firefox is my default browser now

No, I'm not slamming Bill and boys

Yes, my 2 cents...

I have 256Mb at the moment ... do you think another 256Mb would help?
