A friend with computer problems bought a new e-Machine form Best Buy with
Vista Home Basic pre-installed. It's a 3 GHz machine with 512 MB RAM, 160
GB HDD, etc. It is also the slowest machine I've dealt with in a long time!
All I have installed is Word 2003 and Quickbooks, set up Outlook Express,
and a new printer and a wireless connection using a PCI Adapter, both with
Vista drivers. From first turning on the machine it has been very slow.
All Windows updates were done.
What can I check to find out what is making it so slow - the 7 year old
WinXP Gateway it replaced was a speed demon by comparison.
Thanks,
Mich
