I am have limited experiance with computing, using the computer for
data access and manuplication.
My PC which came with Windows Me, a 1.4 Ghz Antholan had 60G memory and
512 RAM and USB1 ports. As programes that I want to use require
Xindows XP as the minimum and devices are faster with USB2, I upgraded
the PC. Added the following:
Windows XP Home edition
160G Seagate Hard drive
Upgraded RAM to 1024 by replacing old with two new 512 RAM DDRs
Pinnicle TV Card
Relaced both CD burner and DVD players with two NEC DVD burners
USB 2 ports
Installed XP Home into the new HD (Drive C) kept the old drive as D and
reformatted with XP Home. Windows is very slow to open, also opening
applications sometimes taking 2-3 mins. The cursor
sometimes dissapears along with the hour glass. When you click the
application again thinking that it had 'forgotten' two or however many
appear on the screen, depending on the number of clicks. Where there
is requirement to connect with the internet eg Windows update, Outlook
EXpress, often it does not do this. Need to connect with the net first
and then select the application. At present only use Dial up Internet
connection and is not as stable, it drops out from time to time and the
connection has to be remade. I have Nortons Internet Security 2005. I
have uninstalled this programme with
no differance. I have also taken out Pinicle TV card and associated
software.
When I was using Windows Me, these problems were not experianced.
Please
advice and thanks
