Same solution posted in the newsgroup
microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware entitled "Computer lags up for no
reason?" starting 29 Dec 2005 also applies to your computer problem.
However first, go to "Start > Connect to > Show All Connections" to
view everything your computer can connect to. Right click on "Local
Area Connection" icon to select 'disable'. This disconnects your
computer from router. If router and local network are the problem,
then this 'diable' will cause computer to run faster - a less
destructive equivlant to disconnecting a cable. . No reason to mess
with hardware. Disconnect by clicking. Repeat same later to restore
(Enable) that network and router connection.
Meanwhile, information that will get useful responses here is
obtained from suggestions in that other post. Doing 'data collection'
will not harm a computer, may teach much to avoid future events, and
should make it easier to identify a future computer repairman as
honest. Nothing smarter than to first collect (and record) symptoms
and facts before doing or having another fix or change anything.
