Jeez my pcs sooo slow

Can an expert help me with my pc.Over the last few days its taking ages to load I mean about 30 mins before its up to running speed.I have removed some stuff on start up as recommended start up light its called I think.
It came up with a message virtual memory low I have been into the virtual memory thingy and increase it to the maximium 4000mb I think it is but still no difference.
When you click the x on top right of screen instead of closing it sort of closes like a blind coming down if you get my drift.

I have defragged,virus scanned,I have run malbytes malware thingy and the commodo system cleaner.The only thing left to do is get a damn big hammer out and smash the thing up its driving me nuts.Any ideas please?

    1. Uninstall all unnecessary programs from Control Panel then restart your computer.
    2. Run Windows Update: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ then restart your computer.
    3. Run CCleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com
    4. Uninstall AVG (tool here for that) and run an anti-virus scan: http://www.free-av.com/
    5. Run an anti-spyware scan: http://www.superantispyware.com/
    6, Run an anti-malware scan: http://www.malwarebytes.org/
    7. Check the VRAM settings i.e.:

    - Click Start, then open the Control Panel.
    - Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
    - Click the Advanced tab.
    - Under Performance, click Settings.
    - Click the Advanced tab.
    - Under Virtual memory, click Change.
    - Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file (virtual memory) settings that you want to change. In almost every case, this will be your C: drive.
    - Click to select the "System managed size" option, then click Set.
    - Click OK three times and restart your computer.

    8. Run a defrag: http://www.defraggler.com/
    9. Investigate msconfig: http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/
    10. Perform disk error checking: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265

    I'd suggest uninstalling ZoneAlarm firewall and simply enabling Vista or XPs inbuilt firewall. It's perfectly adequate.

    Fix these too.

    Other than the above I'd recommend re-installing XP / Vista.

    running xp pro sp3, usually your virtual memory is 1.5 the amount of memory you have installed.
    1gb installed virtual memory should be around 1.5gb
    2gb installed 3gb virtual
    3gb installed 4.5gb

    looking at the run section of what you posted you dont need all that running at startup. 28 programs, included what windows loads by default would make it around 50+ processes no wonder your computer is slow.
    as AlienRik said uninstall zonealarm spyblocker that does slow down the computer even more.
    I'd also remove the googletoolbar aswell.

    How much RAM do you have installed? XP runs best on 1GB or higher, I'm guessing you have 512MB or less?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • There is IGB of ram on it, im just deleting the stuff recommended and running a full malbytes scan at mo
  • Are you running scans of the programs I suggested? Have you completed all the other steps I suggested? Have you updated each program before running the scans?
