Windows XP Dump file contents ?

[williamf32]

Hi there.. this is my first post, so hoping its in the right place...I'm fixing a friends pc, acer travelmate 2310, win xp home, 512 mg ram, intel celeron. At my house, works perfectly.. at his, resources used climbs to 75%, mouse moves erratically, keyboard does not type.... so guessing its win xp problem.

I used Dr watson and here is what it said:
Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 6.8.0004.0 X86

==========================
I really hope this makes sense to someone and its even relevant

I've degragged, spyware, adware and registry cleaner and works perfect at my house...

Thanks for any help or pointers

If only Dr Watson was that good.

I cant work anything out from this, if the Pc is running very slow then its possible that you got a virus or a rough application. Reinstalling windows will do it or download a antispyware for 30 day trial and get it to fix it. I prefer Trendmicro because its fully functional and might sort your issue out.

Do you have any software running in the background?
