Could be a memory issue. How much memory have you got in your computer? As it is 32-bit, there is no point in installing any more than 4GB.

Pinkipad,

Help us to help you by filling out your system specs. Here is how:

Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

ADD the word laptop or desktop or netbook to the
“system manufacturer” block, for example,
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.
====================================================

Good. Now put the info that is in System Manufacturer/Model Number in the OS block

Put the info from Other Info into System Manufacturer/Model Number

Add to System Manufacturer/Model Number the model number info. There is more than one Dell Inspiron Mini Netbook!

SIW is the better product, but the free version doesn't permit copy and paste operations like Speccy does. You do know that you can highlight the desired info such as opposite Version and use Ctrl+C to copy and then use Ctrl+V to paste into the SevenForums form for your system specs.

You might find that Speccy, under Motherboard, has put the number you need as "Version".
In this area, SIW is far superior.

SIW | expand Hardware | System Summary | Computer

Now since you are working with a netbook:
My experience with my netbook is:
1. 4 GB is better than 2 GB
2. a SSD is better than a HDD.

Let's hope that we can solve your problem without having to take those steps.

I don't really think that you have 2.44 gb hard disk drive.

Would you please update the size of the hdd? Since a cramped drive can cause problems, that info is rather vital.
