XP slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

i have a small home network connected to a westell modem.
everything works fine when you first log in.
but after several hours running programs, opening browsers, opening explorer
takes a very long time. also mapped drives become disconnected. i am ot
using static IP, but i do have a domain server.
could this be related to the router somehow?

Failing router would definitely cause connectivity issues like that.

It might be something to do with your sticky keyboard.

Have you run 'disk cleanup' recently?

thanks for your brilliant insight.

i run cleanup and defrag once per week.
as i said, this problem occurs after the PC has been on for several hours.
when first booted or re-logon everything hums along.

Could be that you're getting many errors due to noisy or weak signals and to
compensate for that your modem is shifting to a lower speed.
