659391 2008-04-16 05:01:00 Yep.

Need specs:

Processor:

Ram:

Are you trying to game? Graphics Card:

Is it the PC that's slow, or the internet? Or both.

Open the task manager and see how much RAM is being used. If its a similar amount, or more than you have, that will be one big reason.

Anti Virus: Do you have McAfee, Trend Micro or Nortons? If so, that will also be slowing down the PC a lot. Those programs are hogs.

How old is the PC?

1)Insufficent h/w specs for the O/S
2)Malware
3)Windows bloat

659394 2008-04-16 09:46:00 4) Heaps of unnecessary programs running at startup. I rarely find a computer that I can't get rid of 8-10 startups.

If your computer used to be OK, look at 2) and 4).

659397 2008-04-17 04:39:00 Jeez. Stop shouting.

Right click on (My) Computer and click properties. There it will tell you which Operating System, Which CPU and how much RAM you have. Post back and tell us what you have.

Are you on dial up or broadband?

Get HijackThis (www.trendsecure.com) and post a log.
