I have reinstalled windows xp and since doing so everything runs very slow. Opening and closing take forever. Outlook Express refuses to work. Open windows hang and wont close. DVDs judder and stall. Internet (I,m on broadband) runs like it is on a 57 kp modem. Computer is virus free. Any help, ideas on how to rectify this problem would be most welcome.

Hi

Thanks for the advice. I have followed the site to the letter but still have the same problem. Computer still operating at snails pace. Windows that wont stay open etc. etc. Any other possible advice would be most welcome. Thanks.
 
Hi

The advice on Jupiter's web site is very comprehensive. Can you post the
exact details of why your system is slow?

Hi again,

Thinking back when I reinstalled Windows XP I failed to remove connections for printer and scanner and internet connections from the USB ports before reinstalling. Could this possibly be the or a cause for the slow running ? (Stab in the dark)
 
Hi

That shouldn't be the cause of the slowing down. You can try deleting your
scanner & printer to see if that has any effect, then reinstalling them.
Try the following link for your printer:
