Reinstall of an XP laptop
Comments

Great. Cheers. I ran sfc /scannow and left it to it. When I came back after an hour or so, there was nothing showing, so I presume it ran clean.
Yep -- sounds good, so long as it went back to a command prompt and hadn't just crashed.
As above, I'd go for a full reinstallation of XP too. Windows systems seem to need reinstallation every year or two to maintain performance.0 -
I used ccleaner to disable start up items. Quicker and safer than uninstalling.Not sure if there's anything else I need to do with CCleaner
From memory my xp pc ran very slowly after the updates ended which was caused by windows checking for missed updates. Can't remember how I stopped this. Possibly by turning off updates.0
