The only thing I have got running in the background are Norton anti-virus, Weatherbug, Dropbox, and Rollback Rx. I cannot close out Dropbox because that's where my images are saved and loaded at, Rollback Rx and Norton I cannot close at all, and Weatherbug... well, I guess I could close that out, but I doubt that would help any. I checked the amount of memory it's using once it started locking up, and it turns out that the system is only using up about 56,000 K of memory. Sadly, I don't think I will be able to add more memory. I'm not sure if my school would allow me to modify the laptop in such a way.

So I guess that means that there's not a lot you can do to help me with the problem i'm having?

Hello. I have decided to recently install Paint.NET onto my school laptop so I can work on my pixel-art on the go. However, I seem to be having a small but VERY annoying problem. You see, while I am using Paint.NET, every minute or so, my laptop will lock-up for a few seconds. Now let me note that this does not mess with my picture any, but it happens so often that is becomes and extreme nuisance. I have tried using /chkdsk /f, as well as an anti-virus (Norton to be exact) and CCleaner. However, it doesn't seem to help any. If you need my computer's specs to help me, I will be more than happy to post them. Thank you for taking your time to read this. Beginner pixel-artist, ~Matt P.S. I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong section, but I am new here to the forums and I wasn't sure if I should put this message in the discussion forums or troubleshooting forums.
