Re: win xp sp3

Thanks.

May I ask why you chose to post your log there (again)? Looks like no one ever replied to either of your earlier threads:

Hello Ken Blake I appoligize, yes I ment 512 mb of ram. The pc

weeks ago I downloaded AVG 8.0 free, ran the scan and after an hour
the
results was 24568 warnings of possible infections.



That's an *enormous* number. If you were that badly infected, there's
an excellent chance that not everything was cleaned properly, and you
are still infected.

I'm usually very reluctant to recommend that someone reformat and
clean install, but with a system that badly compromised, that's
likely
your best course.


I used the clean button to remove all of these, don't
know if that was the right thing to do. My pc's software is nothing
all
that spectacular, Quicken 2005, Openoffice 2.4, Mozillia Firefox,
Broderbund, ( a will making app.) and family search ( a geneology
app.)
Thats about all I use. So I don't know what is going on. If it
help's
my
disk space is 37 gb with 84% free Larry

Several points:

1. Wanting to minimize the amount of memory Windows uses is a
counterproductive desire. Windows is designed to use all, or most,
of
your memory, all the time, and that's good not bad. Free memory is
wasted memory. You paid for it all and shouldn't want to see any of
it
wasted.

Windows works hard to find a use for all the memory you have all
the
time. For example if your apps don't need some of it, it will use
that
part for caching, then give it back when your apps later need it.
In
this way Windows keeps all your memory working for you all the
time.

2. Is the computer just slow to boot, or is it also slow after
booting?

3. You say "The ram I have is just 520 mg." I assume you mean
512MB.
For most people, that's fine. How much RAM you need for good
performance is *not* a one-size-fits-all situation. You get good
performance if the amount of RAM you have keeps you from using the
page file, and that depends on what apps you run. Most people
running
a typical range of business applications find that somewhere around
256-384MB works well, others need 512MB.
