Unity freezes my computer everytime I bring focus to an element inside the Unity form

Unity Engine

Let’s say I open Unity right now.
Then I want to adjust something in the scene view, so I click on it to bring focus to it; bang, Unity freezes for 10 seconds.
Then I might want to adjust an object, so I go to the Hierarchy screen to select an object; bang, Unity freezes for 10 seconds.

Whatever I do, when I click a new place on Unity, it freezes for 10 seconds.
I’ve tried upgrading my video driver to the latest, installing all available Windows Updates, defragged (C:\ drive), virus scanned my entire computer and removed cache files with CCleaner.
On top of that, I have uninstalled all the useless crap that was on my computer.

Unity is the only program that makes my computer freeze like this. I can play Unity games perfectly fine, I can play other games perfectly fine (Valve games, for instance - though I don’t play big games on my computer).

Specs about my computer:
Model: HP Pavilion dv9000
Processor: AMD Turion™ 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-58 1.90 GHz
RAM: 2.00 GB
System: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32-bit

I’ve checked google millions of times and found nothing. I’ve tried everything I could think of, but didn’t work.
I trust that you can help me? I really want to get on with Unity now :frowning:

Did you try to reinstall Unity?

Finally someone wanted to help!

Not directly, but I tried installing Unity 2.6 instead - it froze even more!

I just want to get on with Unity now… I have run through their System Requirements multiple times and my computer is more than capable of running Unity. Several of them at a time, even.
Yet, Unity - the program itself - does not agree.

Still nothing.

I downloaded 3.4 but no fix.

Can anyone help with this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
