Re: Windows XP Running Slow

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance




I hope I did this correctly. I had a number of errors and warnings under the
applications section and they pretty much were numerous repeats of what I
pasted below. Not sure what this tells me but maybe you can shed some light.
Thanks.

Is your system free from error?

Have a look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for
Errors and Warnings and post copies here. Don't post any more than 48
hours ago.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

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.

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?

You should be able to gather more information from Task Manager. With
the Processes tab open select View, Select, Columns and check the boxes
before Peak Memory Usage and Virtual Memory size. What are the figures
for the 6 processes using the largest amounts?

Hope this helps.

Hopefully someone can help me. I purchased a new desktop PC with
Windows XP installed on it over 5 years ago. I have had no problems
with speed until recently. The PC has 1GB of RAM and a Pentium 4
processor, but like I said, I have never had problems with speed, etc.

What has been happening is that the PC is has begun to run very slow
over the last 3-4 months. Good examples of this are when I click on
IE to get into the Internet, it takes a couple minutes to connect
where it never did before (I have a fast cable internet provider) and
most noticeably is that when I use Outlook Express to check my
emails, it takes several minutes to retrieve mail where up until a
few months ago, it was almost instantaneous. Also, when I get out of
IE - the hour glass stays on for a bout a minute while back to the
desktop.

I am very good about keeping the PC clean and well maintained, and run
several different anti-virus and malware programs on a weekly basis,
so I don't think thats the problem. I have noticed that there have
been many Windows updates in the past 3-4 months and don't know if
its a coincidence that this is about the same time that the PC
started running slower. I also just upgraded to IE 8 thinking this
would help but no such luck.

I am looking for ideas. Could it just be that the PC is old and I
need to reinstall XP again? Or do you think the updates have caused
this. or - so you have any other recommendations? Your expert help is
greatly appreciated. Thanks!
