I am running Win XP SP2 on a PIII 800mhz. I have recently experienced severe
system slow down on media player, dvd playback and games. I run avg and
spybot and neither say I have any trojans or trackers that may be causing the
problem. I can't think of anything that I've done/added that can cause this
problem. All my movies play back incredibly slow and gaming is now
impossible. Please help me track this down.
