Suggestion 1: When was the last time you cleaned and
defragged your hard drive? If you've not done that recently, start there. Suggestion 2: Are you running KaZaa? The "free" version loads an adservice and a spyware program called GATOR or GMT. Both of these programs will slow you down drastically, sometimes even freezing things up. If you downloaded KaZaa, even if you aren't actively using it, it may be sarting at boot up and running in the background. If you have KaZaa and think it might be the problem, try going to the site http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm for directions on disabling KaZaa at start up. Good Luck -----Original Message----- My computer is running very, very slow. My system has Intel P4-2.40 GHz - 256MB DDR, 120GB hard drive. When searching the web I have to use the refresh key all the time. How can I find out why this is happening and how can I fix it? This was not the case during the first 2 months of use. I have had the computer for about 3 months now. Any assistance would be appreciated. Truly a novice, but learning pretty fast. . |
