406001 2005-11-21 04:01:00 K. What kind of modem is it? PCI? USB? Connected by ethernet?

Also check device manager see if there are any X's !'s, or ?'s anywhere.

Ok. Thats good. Its not the ide then. If it were on PIO, that'll be a reason why its slow.

406004 2005-11-21 04:12:00 I checked in device manager, not any of those x ? or anything, it looks fine Tank (8625)
406005 2005-11-21 04:22:00 Ok, good! Must be all those files in startup then thats slowing things down .

Do another scan with HJT, and tick these entries . Tick fix checked .

These entries dont have to run on startup .

Or use ccleaner and tools/startup and delete these entries in the startup tab .

O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [RemoteControl] "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PDVDServ . exe"

You dont have a remote control for powerdvd do you?

O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1 . 5 . 0_03\bin\jusched . exe

O4 - Global Startup: WinZip Quick Pick . lnk = C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZQKPICK . EXE

O4 - HKLM\ . . \Run: [AutoRun] "E:\AUTORUN\AutoRun . exe" "/9"

O4 - Startup: LimeWire On Startup . lnk = C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire . exe - run this from the quicklaunch bar or program files .

O4 - HKCU\ . . \Run: [MSMSGS] "C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs . exe" /background run this from program files or the quicklaunch bar if its there .

Or go into prefs and untick it so it doesnt run on bootup .

Then see if things are any faster .

406007 2005-11-21 09:08:00 Thanks very much guys its working good again.
I notice that Celeron doesn't get to much praise, what is the best one to buy ?

406008 2005-11-21 09:15:00 Good to hear its better!

Differences between Celeron ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Celeron" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org)

And Pentium 4 ( . wikipedia . org/wiki/Pentium_4" target="_blank">en . wikipedia . org)

One of the differences is cache .

Celerons are usually cheaper, than P4's .
