please.........

post it here:

How much ram do you have (<257?)

MickKnipfler

yeah 256. I can upgrade but the PC is defo running slower than it did... not all the time though

albertross_2

https://www.crucial.com. Up it to 512 (or more) and things will run much smoother, no swapping..

Also try https://www.ccleaner.com if you haven't got it.

and run a full service scan from here:

http://safety.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm

MickKnipfler

that is an option. It's just that the PC sometimes runs incredibly slow. Much slower that when I first had it. Even when I've only gor a couple of IE windows running

albertross_2

If you want to see what process is killing the performance try these when it goes slow..

http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

But 256 isn't enough to run XP smoothly, If the disk light is coming on all the time, more ram will help..

You will have installed stuff since you bought it, defender etc, this will have an impact, especially when it's doing updates from the web etc..

The forum members who like staring at hijack this logs will probably be along shortly.. I had a brief glance, and nothing particular stood out.

Personally, I don't have any browser helper objects on my pc.., and you could disable all that corel phone home software that Dell installs on their PC's

MickKnipfler

Thanks. I'm happy to upgrade from Crucial if that's the way to go
