I see this is a common problem with 9.10, but I haven't found a solution. My computer is a Dell Dimension 2300. The random freezes are unacceptable. I can get anywhere without rebooting several times a day. Unless there is a solution to this problem soon, I'm moving back to 9.04. Please help.

[B[Edit[/B]Something is really whacko with 9.10. I use the Thunderbird email client, and when I just opened I got rectangular lines on the screen but no Thunderbird. What should I do? I'll reinstall Thunderbird but that way 9.10 is acting I'll be surprised if that improves anything.

Did you turn off desktop effects and your system still kept on freezing?

What is "desktop effects?" There is no gnome splash screen on my 9.10.

Stupid me!! I found the desktop effects and that option is disabled. I still get random freezing.
