Hi,
I bought my granddaughter a Dell 8200 Inspiron notebook and she has lost the
software that came with the computer. The computer still boots and runs but
everything is really slow. And it take a long time to start up. It did
really good for a year or so but has really bogged down. I have tested it
for viruses, adware/malware. It has updated Norton antiviurs and ad-aware
and spybot search and destroy plus windows defender installed and up to
date. Every thing seems to be clean. I have disabled everything at startup
using msconfig. Nothing seems to be running in the background. I have
uninstalled all the programs that doesn't need to be installed using
add/remove programs in control panel. As far as I can tell, everything seems
to functioning as it should be, but it's still really slow - a lot slower
that it was at first. The computer was purchased 11/21/02. Any advice will
be greatly appreciated.
