The difference between 2.6 and 9.1 is enormous, what else did you expect? Look at the calendar, it's 2006. Upgrade NOW! Comparing 2.6 to 9.1 is like comparing a bicycle to a Ferrari; they both have wheels, everything else is different.

A data entry clerk can carefully enter a scrreen of complex data, then the #$^$^%$$^ PC freezes again and the work is lost. You need to fix whatever is causing the freezes.
