windows xp sp2 runs too slow

[Guest]

I just upraded to xp sp2 from WIndows ME. Everything runs slower now. Why?

First you checked for hw compatibility?
Youve updated all drivers to winxp drivers from hw manu sites?

An upgrade is not the reccommended route, better to clean install.
You would need to backup all data, and after install mobo chipset and other
hw winxp drivers.
Do NOT use winupdate drivers.

Look in the System and Application logs of Event Viewer and post copies
of Warning and Error Reports.

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

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.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties. Hardware,
Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

Hope this helps.
