Re: FASTER PERFORMANCE

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?

Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it
is more informative.

Any memory optimisers installed?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in
the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in
a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

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

My computer runs really slow. I have a good harddrive and memory.
I delete all my cookies and everything else, but opening simple

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.
