Computer running slow
In the last few days, my Gateway with Windows XP computer has started running
slow. I have run my Antivirus and my spyware, but that has not corrected the problem. I have also cleaned out unused programs and degragged the hard drive. I don't really know what else to do. Am I missing something? This laptop is only 2 years old and has been running fine until this week. Help!!! |

you're problem is nothing new. this problem has encountered my gateway too.
go to www.pcpitstop.com go to fulltests then new members then click on test annonymosly. (makesure youre using internet explorer!) then take the pc health test.. remember if you get a yellow or a red flag. on one of you devices open the flag and see what the problem is they willl help you with what is causing the problems. checkered flag is winner means the device is working up to potential. yellow is minor problem red is major. if you have trouble with that post back.

have you hooked up anything new lately like an added scanner or added ps2 or
anything or upgraded your video card ? Turns out my power supply was making alot of noise and then finally started smelling like burned out or maybe dust whatever but anyways I was told it was because my video upgrade to 256mb graphics card and was told for every 64mb of video I should have 256 of ram for my com to run correctly. So now I have 1024 of ram and whammo the com runs quickly. I"m content now. I click on something and up it comes quick. The only draw back is it takes a bit longer to boot. I'll take that trade anyday. Oh and I'm using a dell 8300 Windows XP . Well good luck I hope I helped out somewhat. cu -- attilathehun1 "Will Denny" wrote: Hi Please try the following link: http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/slowcom.htm -- Will Denny MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "Angie1102" wrote in message ...
