| 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. |

| 406003 | 2005-11-21 04:11:00 | its says primary - ultra dma mode 5 secondary - ulta dma mode 2 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 . |

| 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 . |
