Very Slow loading

[MapleE.]

Hi All:
XP Professional made by Acer that was purchased about one year ago from
Wal-Mart web-site.

Since last month, loading Internet is VERY slow, even opening Outlook
Express. Otherwise, everything is OK.

When I tried to un-load few of un-needed programs by accessing 'msconfig' on
Run, it says 'Administer log-on required,' then I am NOT able to change any
of stuff on 'msconfig,' even though I'm ONLY one using this computer.

How to resolve two issuees, ... one for 'slow-loading' both Internet and
Outlook Express 6?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Are you already using SP3? When's the last time you did a defrag? Have
you run a virus scan lately? Have you run a spyware/maleware/junkware
scan with something like Spybot lately? It's impossible to diagnose
this kind of issue without knowing more about your network connection
or if you have things on your computer that might be slowing it down
or apps that are using your network connection without your knowledge.

In Outlook Express place the cursor on Local Folders and select File,
Work Offline followed by File, Folder, Compact All. Do not attempt to
interupt or stop the process until it has completed. Close Outlook
Express when it has completed.

After compacting check your Outlook Express folders are as they should
be. Then select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk
CleanUp to Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files.
Also select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk
CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest
System Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.

Hope this helps.
