What could make my system (XP Pro, Pentium 4 2.4 GHz, 1Gb RAM) slow to a
crawl even while the CPU usage stays low (< 7%)? Opening the start menu can
take as long as a minute to open, closing browser (firefox) windows, closing
Outlook (2007) or Streets & Trips - at times I find that getting the
computer to close a handful of browser windows, Outlook, Streets & Trips and
Word can take as long as 5-7 minutes with the CPU Usage never climbing above
even 10% as reported by Windows Task Manager.
Any thoughts? (antivirus is kept up to date - AVG, system scanned for
spyware/malware using Hijack This!, Spybot and a couple of others)
