| Hi, i'm really at the end of my tether with the newly
| bought computer with Windows XP installed and i was hoping
| someone could help me out. The computer is terribly slow
| opening and closing programes, connecting and downloading
| are also slow. i know you are all going to say i need more
| RAM! or to reduce the priority of processes but i'm not
| certain it is that simple. The amount of RAM should have
| been sufficient as the problem started after a couple of
| days and i can't imagine we downloaded so much within a
| short space of time.
|
| however i did remove some of the larger programs such as
| music downloaders but this made no difference. I checked
| the status of the priority performances and nothing seems
| to be visibly draining the source, however on the PF usage
| meter i am registering a considerable amount of memory
| being used, but i am clueless as to what it is or wether
| one thing is draining the source.
|
| I'm not sure if this is important but we have messenger in
| the tray which immediately starts up when connecting,
| possibly suggesting the computer has been set up to do too
| many things at once?. Also the Local area network icon
| shows it is unplugged even when connected to the internet,
| could this be highlighting an underlying problem?
|
| i'd appreciate any feedback
| Thankyou
