We have a Dell Inspiron 2650 running MS Windows XP Home
Edition, version 2002 with Service Pack 2 installed. It
has a Celeron CPU 1.5 GHz processor and 128 MB of RAM.
The C-drive has 18.5 GB of storage and only 34% is used
with 66% available. Virtual memory is 192 MB. Task Mgr.
performance indicates PF usage of 150 MB and normally CPU
usage from 3 to 10%.
We have SpyBot and Norton Anti-virus running and updating
constantly. Virus checks have been run and nothing is
showing up. Yesterday we defragmented the C-drive.
The Inspiron operating system is starting up and
processing data very slowly. My own Dell Latitude
running MS Windows XP Professional with a 1.2 GB Intel
Pentium processor with much more software installed and
using 62% of my C-drive storage, operates much faster
than the Inspiron 2650.
1. Why does the Inspiron run so slowly?
2. Are there some settings that should be changed?
3. Is there something installed that we should check for
and uninstall?
4. Any other suggestions?
Please let us know as soon as possible. This is very
frustrating.
Regards,
Bruce
