Upgraded to sp2 a cpl of weeks ago and machine is slow!! 640mb ram, 2.6 ghz
pentium, 80g hard, radeon 9600 128m. Did the adware thing, virus scans,
chkdsk, defrag and still operates way below it did prior to sp2. Start up is
fine but switching between programs, (including internet) and reading/opening
directories on the hard drive takes a very long time. Also if I go to control
panel; add/remove programs, only programs that start with 'A' display?!!?!?
Task manager shows a program called 'mscat.exe' that is consuming much more
than anything else. Bout' 69,000k. Any idea what that is? Can't find it on
the other 2 machines I use. Thanx in advance for any
tips/comments/suggestions.
