Re: Downloads from IE cause PC to slow down

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

What other programs/processes (hit ctrl-alt-del and check the task

When I download a file using explorer, my PC really slows down. CPU usage is
typically > 75%, but mouse movement, keyboard etc. are sluggish.

I am running XP Home on a 3500+ Athlon 64. 2.2GHz and 768MB RAM.

Any ideas on how I can speed things up?
