| 187008 | 2003-10-27 07:10:00 | Hi and Welcome to PressF1 What operating system does your computer run? What are the other specifications of your PC, such as RAM and processor speed eg 933 MHz. Do you run disk cleanup and disk defragmenter regularly? |

| 187009 | 2003-10-27 07:27:00 | Have you tried a reformat? You'll get a big hit in performance from doing that. MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP if you are to do it!!! Check in the faq for more information on that Michael Y |

| 187010 | 2003-10-27 07:50:00 | What you really need to do (as stated) is let us know what specs your system is, OS,what the six programs are, (that sounds way to many) and what you are doing when the machine slows down. Also can you run antivirus, spyware detection, scan and defrag just as a preliminary |

| 187012 | 2003-10-27 08:54:00 | Take the above advice,Download and run spybot and ad-awere6,then do a scan-disc and a defrag. After doing so list in here what your start-up programs are(and look a little deeper then just the icons on the taskbar,they are normally just the tip of the iceburg). |

| 187013 | 2003-10-27 10:53:00 | Would I be correct in thinking that you have a dual boot system? Win98 and WinXP from what I can see. Do you have a dual boot system because you can't find drivers for some hardware like a Mustek scanner for XP? |
