Windows xp running slow and freezing

[Guest]

I have a Gateway with Windows XP. I have had for about a year now, I
purchased it new but it did not come with a cd. It freezes while trying to
bring up a page and runs slow at times. I also use dialup so I know to expect
it to run slow but the freezing part is starting to get on my nerves. I have
also wipe the system a few times. It will work fine then start with problems
again. Can someone help me out?

I assume you mean Web page.

Have you deleted Temporary Internet Files?

Is anything else other than your Web browser affected?

Please check Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports in the System and
Application logs for when the error occurs and post copies.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.
