Slow and Slower Performance Windows XP

[William]

Bear with me ...I'm not technically literate but follow
instructions well ... Within last 3 weeks my response
time in opening new sites and pages has grown
increasingly slow ... logging onto my Comcast home page
takes up to two minutes before the window appears... I've
cleaned the cache as recommended my Comcast, eliminated
most of my pop-ups and messenger service garbage as
recommended by the Dell live Support Group and restored
the system to earlier dates but nothing seems to affect
this slow speed. I have tons of space and memory. Anyone
had this dilemma too? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. P.S. I've been with Comcast a very long
time through numerous Windows upgrades and never had a
problem like this. William
