306555 2004-12-22 00:33:00 what are you system spec's buddy? how fast is your cpu etc, amount of ram etc etc Prescott (11)
306556 2004-12-22 01:14:00 Yes I got everything installed on my pc. My pc is a inter pentium 3, 800 mgz, 128 ram, ati rage pro fury video card. I know sounds like a ****ty pc, which it is. But still I know my pc i had it for like 5 years, its not spose to run like that even with xp. I had xp before and it ran perfectly fine, now its runnin like i have the worse virus if them all.

306557 2004-12-22 08:48:00 your pc seems that it needs more ram, 128 is useable but not recommended, you need at least 256 or more, then it will be faster. ram is pretty cheap these days, go get some more :)

and have you updated your virus scanner?

306558 2004-12-22 08:57:00 I'm just guessing -but maybe bad sectors? Have you done scandisk? ~sy~ (95)
306559 2004-12-22 09:31:00 I honestly do think it is a driver problem. Pay special attention to your video card and AGP drivers. george12 (7)
306560 2004-12-22 09:45:00 But DR did say it was running XP OK before the format, so I guess all the bits are OK. TonyF (246)
