Hi,
Just bought new Dell with XP home. Every program I run on it, even Internet
Explorer is slow "to react". What I mean is that when I click a button to
either open a
program or click a button in the toolbar of an already open program, it
seems XP has
a long pause to think things over, with no apparent disk activity during the
pause, which is usually about 15/20 seconds. Extremely annoying!
I posted this message last week and people made a few suggestions about me
getting more memory or having unnecessary programs running etc. However, I
have loads of memory on the machine (512) and have disabled all unnecessary
programs in Startup.
Can anyone offer an explanation or more hopefully a solution (apart from my
going back to my old machine running Windows 98, 64k memory with no delays
whatsoever)?
Thanks,
JR
