It'll say 95/98/XP/Me or Vista And lose the caps, we're not deaf I also have a slow PC and have read this thread through and taken on board what has been suggested. Installed BOClean and deleted a whole lot os unnecessary crap I have had stored. Interesting and great Web Site you all have going here. Wish I had half the knowledge you all have but then there would be one too many :D Keep it up people and thank you all for your help.	NanaD (12752)

Programs such as antivirus apps, firewalls and other running processes, regardless of how many resources thay're consuming, WILL still slow ANY computer down to some degree. Of course viruses etc do the same thing, but until I see a HJT log I can't be sure what's making this guy's PC so slow (except for the lack of ram obviously).	jwil1 (65)
659413	2008-04-20 07:04:00	well, maybe, but this guy has an entry level PC, so he obviously did not build it himself. So when you get it, it is already bloated to some degree. So thats my baseline speed. If he installed it himself, then it would get slower becuase he is going to add apps.	SPARTAN 860 (2618)
