I just reformatted my daughter's 3-4 years old Dell laptop and
re-installed XP Pro. I updated all the critical update from
WindowsUpdate until there was no more critical ones. Now the
machine is extremely slow. Much slower than before rebuild. Now if
I star IE 7 and wait until cpu % in task manager go to 0% for IE, I
can make IE cpu usage go to 40-50% just by moving the cursor inside
IE window. Every simple task causes cpu % to go near 100%.
I think I have missed to install a driver for the laptop but I don't
know which.
You should go to the Dell Support site and download/install all the latest
drivers for the machine. When you are done, open Device Manager and ensure
you missed none.
What are the specifications of this laptop? memory, processor, etc...
Model?
