A couple of days ago my XP (on a Dell Dimension 4300) slowed up. I
didn't have any new hardware/software installed, and I| run all the
usual Anti Virus bits & bobs.
Anyway booting in diagnostic mode, boot seems to stop loading driver
AGP440.SYS. I checked up a few postings on this. I tried to user the XP
Repair utility, but couldn't remember the admin passsword. I decided to
reinstall from my CD to a new location; I left this running overnight;
it just finished after over 18 hours !!!
I still have a slow system, painfully slow, I really amnot able to do
anything. Any ideas? It takes 15 minutes now to boot and I just get the
welcome screen. I did run a chkdsk and it looked OK.
TIA,Ned
