Slow response time

[Lyn]

It feels like the XP is taking an inordinately long time
to open new programmes. For instance, running OE, IE, and
Quickbooks server to one other peer, ask for Word and it
takes about 8 seconds to respond to the command.
Is it possible that there could be two iterations of the
operating system running? How would I be able to check?

If you recently ran Windows Update and installed SP1 look for # 811493
in Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
Remove it.

Hello Barry,
I had a look at that option and it said that 3 other Hot-
fixes may be affected adversely.
What does removeing 811493 do, exactly?
