Re: FASTER PERFORMANCE

Sorry Noozer, I usually ask questions properly and but I was in a rush. I
probably should have waited until I got back and done it properly. LOL

Here are my stats:

It's a Pentium 4 CPU 2.53 GHz
504MB of Ram

When I said forever, I mean, it's like a minute or two for some programs. I
don't have too much stuff installed. Just the usual programs. I have
Firefox and that really bites into things, but I think it might be something
else.

I uploaded the Microsoft Office updates today. That's a real problem.
Word, Outlook, etc take forever to load. Hopefully the updates will change
that. I still haven't checked.

Cheers

Not trying to flame you, but learn to ask questions properly.

What is "good" hard drive and memory? My first PC had 256KILObytes of
memory and NO hard drive ... it was "good".

Forever is a very long time... Longer than Windows has been around. Could
you be a bit more specific?

What else is the computer doing? Stuff in your taskbar and system tray? How
much junk have you got installed?

Also, UNINSTALL your NORTON software.
