| 147258 | 2003-05-25 01:22:00 | My dad uses AGI 32 for his lighting designs. None of us can remember installing anything new or changing anything. All of a sudden, it takes ages for my dad to do a simple calculation on AGI 32, and the graphics are terrible. I have heard about some XP update that slows your computer down. Could this be the problem? Windows XP Pro Athlon XP 2100 1 GB DDR ram Geforce 4 MX 460 - MSI drivers (30.80) Direct X 9.0a |

| 147259 | 2003-05-25 03:36:00 | Don't know. :D If you have done the "usual" ... deleting surplus temp files, and doing a defrag ... I'd suspect a virus infestation. One way to cause a seriousd slowdown is to disable the caches. Check the BIOS settings. Any more ideas, folks? |

| 147260 | 2003-05-25 04:06:00 | Those drivers sound really old for your card! Are they used for something specific?? Get the latest 44.xx drivers from nvida, apparently they'll have a 30%+ increase on previous drvers. Whats that infamous update again, we get quite a few posts on it these days :p *looks around* *ay yes I remembered to bookmark it haha :)* support.microsoft.com just remove the "Windows XP Hotfix (SP1) Q811493" in add/remove programs and reboot! |

| 147262 | 2003-05-25 08:41:00 | There was a bug in WinXP SP1 which would slow down a PC but I am sure MS has a patch to fix it. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 147263 | 2003-05-25 08:54:00 | Yeah one more thing to check...spyware infestation. | Pheonix (280) | ||
