Windows XP slow to crawl after installing update
Thank You also. You saved me a lot of time uninstalling
all of the updates till I got the right one. Microsoft was less than useless about the problem. I guess it is a secret till someone outside Microsoft figures it out and makes it public. -----Original Message----- The following is a note I wrote to Computerworld.com after I had problems with my computer. The problem lies with some computers reacting to Hotfix Q811493. The solution is to dump it. Don't waste your time with customer support as I did! Thank you, Thank you, Thankyou!!! I read your article, and although I had similar problems I figured I had better err on the cautious side since I had more than 10 seconds of delay and often my machine froze. I spent three hours on the phone with a very helpfull Microsoft Help Desk representative. After that, when it was time for lunch, he said that his manager said it must be a hardware problem. I should take my computer in to have the hardware checked out. If, after the hardware checked out OK, then they would look at the problem again. This seemed just too convenient for me, so contrary to the advice of Microsoft, and per your advice, I deleted the Microsoft patch. Voila! My machine works again! Oh how life is good! So Microsoft still has no open cases of this problem! That's only because they put their own blinders on! Thanks again for letting me know where the true poblem was lying. Robert W. Note from Computerworld: LATEST WINDOWS XP PATCH CAN SLOW DOWN PCS Users say that Windows XP can take up to 10 seconds to start an application after a patch Microsoft released last week is installed. http://www.computerworld.com/securit.../security/stor y /0,10801,80605,00.html Click on the link or copy and paste it into your browser to view the story line.net . |
