G
George Orwell
A PC came my way, takes ages to start up. Like you do the
control-alt-del and it takes 25 seconds for the logon
window to appear. Then slow slow slow. If I try to start
task manager, that takes about 20 sec to appear, and it shows
only a few percent CPU being used. Weird: what is it
waiting for? Godot? Then to shut down takes about 6 minutes.
Now this PC is P4 2.8 GHz with 1536 MB of DDR and 7200
RPM disk. I once installed XP on a PC with 500 MHz CPU and
384 MB of SDRAM, and that was faster.
This tortoise was an office PC, has only an accounting
package and anti-virus scanner, not tons of crap like I
often see.
I booted a live linux CD, and then it runs quite briskly.
I tried various diagnostics, anti-spyware scan,
defrag the disk and so on.
Is there some obscure bug which chokes XP thus?
