Re: SYSTEM SLOW

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

How large is your hard disk and how much free space. Right click on
your C drive in Windows and select Properties to get this information.

What is your CPU processor speed? How much RAM memory? Right click on
your My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties to get
this information.

Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System
Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

Hope this helps.

Why is my laptop so slow. Does anyone else have this problem with
XP? Is there anyway to overcome this? I have done the usual: ie
compacting drives, various registry cleaners etc. but nothing helped
so I am beginning to wonder if it is XP rather than anything else.
All help or comments would be greatly appreciated.
