Thanks for the excellent info. I'm unsure if my system is OK. It still
seems pretty slow. Maybe I do just need a new system. It does seem faster
since I disable the .dll however.
The system still seizes up occasionally, but I think it's because my system
is now 3.5 years old and all the software that has been loaded over time is
no longer compatible with each other, but who knows?
Many thanks for all your help.

Hello! To tell you the truth I had not noticed the nls things in the list,.
because I use another program actually to look for the dlls, but it was not
free, and that why I didnt mention it.
This one does not list nls files : http://www.warecase.com/
After looking about nls files, they seem to be language related, and no
threat to the system,
and are normal. NLS is "National Language Support file"
See here:

I took a look at process explorer and saw that I too had those files. So
they are normal. Here is a screenshot of what I have so you can compare:

I would say you uninstall that antispyware compleatly if it did create
unstability...
So do you think you have found the reason? It was that dll?

Thank you so much for the response.
The first thing I disabled, an Ewido Anti-Spyware .dll seems to have
helped
my system. It's possible that it's just an artifact of re-booting, which
sometimes helps, but I went to Youtube and could actually watch a video
without pauses and jumps.
One question though. In the .dll list, I see a bunch of *.nls files such
as
unicode.nls, sortkey.nls as well as a bunch of index.dats. Is this
something
to worry about or disable?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
I hope someone can help. My Dell Latitude with 1GB Ram running XP pro
is
unbelievably slow. I suspect it's explorer.exe as it often floats to
the
top
of the CPU cycles in Task Manager.
I have tried Spybot, Ad-Aware SE, Trojan Hunter, HijackThis, CCleaner
and
several others to determine if I have a virus, adware, malware, or a
parasite. It always comes back clean.
Yet even something as simple as clicking inside a form's text box or
alt-tabbing between windows can take several seconds. Web browsing is
painful -- I use my crappy Win2K system for that as it's much faster.
The only solution I've seen that I have NOT tried is msconfig, but I
have
no
idea what I should or shouldn't load as I don't want to make the system
unstable.
To see more background on my issue, check out my discussion on
geekstogo:
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=121170&hl=
I'm considering buying a whole new system, but think there has to be a
better way.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks,
Steve
