A few years ago when I had windows 98, it began to slow
down significantly to the point that we replaced it with
Windows XP. For about a month, it was abnormally quickly
and responded well to commands and playing video-games.
Eventually, it became much more time-consuming jut to
open more than a few applications at once, or even one as
it is now, and playing video-games became much more laggy
than ever before. My friend wanted to see how slow my
computer was to his in an MMORPG video game, and for
every 21 times he could load into a game, I could load in
only once. My computer is often flooded with pop-ups and
advertisements trying to sell pop-up blockers. Perhaps
frequent use for downloading programs and playing video-
games has diminished the computer's performance forever?
I do hope that there is a way to repair it to its
original state back when it was fast. I've tried system
restore multiple times and the farthest it could go back
was like 3 months ago, and even then, it didn't work. I
tried several different checkpoints and none worked. It
said that it was unable to restore it to that time.
Would it help to download Windows XP or buy a new disk
for Windows XP? I've backed up most of my data that I
need from the computer and I want it back to its original
state... if possible, of course. The thing is, when we
got Windows XP, we didn't get to keep the disk,
apparently. I believe that when Windows 98 acted up, we
had someone come out and replace it with Windows XP. But
I don't believe he ever gave us to install or reformat
disks. Will this pose a problem? Is there a download on
the microsoft site I can use to reformat my computer?
Thanks in advance!
