Nikita, you must have a system problem. As J.R. suggests, it very
possible you have a bad driver. It may seem to you that OOo
(OpenOffice.org) is the only program running, but there many more
background processes/services running that you cannot see.
I enjoy a good Microsoft conspiracy theory as much as the next person,
but I think millions of OOo users would have discovered this already.
A number of my customers use OOo on Dell (Win XP based) computers and
none have reported freezing/hanging when running OOo.
