2sexxxy, it sounds like you are low on memory.
You probably just need someone who knows what they are doing ( not me, although I could probably "band aid" it ) to give your PC an overhaul, ( free up memory or reload ) as this is most likely what was wrong with your browser, a few weeks back.
You may wanna upgrade the memory, if your PC has the capacity. It's cheap, if your PC is as old as it sounds. Easy to install ( just slides right in )
In the mean time try cleaning up your HD ( delete any big files, temp internet files etc ). Try closing all the programs running on the task bar ( right hand side ) - does it work if you do this by itself and only run erchat ? Then, scan and defrag.
PS there is no meaning of life.
