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
You really need more RAM. 1 GB would be the way to go.
How much hard disk space do you have?
How many programs start up with Windows, messenger, etc
After you boot your computer, right click on the task bar and choose "task
manager", (or CTRL+ALT+DEL).
Check the "Performance" tab, how much CPU time is being used when the system
is idle.
Under the "Processes" tab make a note of how many processes are running,
(bottom left of window will tell you), and see if any of them are using a
lot of CPU time.
NOTE - "System Idle process" is not a program! So ignore it.
