I have XP Pro.
Well, its starts up normally but when I click on my Account then it takes about 3-4 minutes to show the whole Taskbar and background. Then another 2 for me to be able to click on start normally.
Programs also take longer to start and running more than 2 things at once really slows it down even more.
I’ve used only 17 of 80 available Gigabytes.
I have Norton 360 and it did a system scan and optimized the C drive and came up with no problems.
This happened like overnight, and I don’t know what is wrong.
Also I erased all start-up items
Porn.Yes.
Traces.No.

Did you install anything recently? If so undo the changes. If nothing, go to Start-> All Programs ->Accessories-> System Tools-> System Restore
Select an earlier date to restore your computer settings to when your computer wast fast. That’s it, you should be okay then.

try downloading a program called SuperAntiSpware and use that to see what junk is on the computer and then reboot it and see how quick it is…..

running more than 1 program usually slows down your computer.
also if something big is going on like you’re downloading something, your computer will respond slowly

Hi,
Clear out your Temp directories:
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\LOGIN-NAME\Local Settings\Temp (might need to show all files ‘Tools > Folder Options > View (tab) > Check ’show hidden…’)
Defrag your hard drive:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
Download Spybot: Search & Destroy, run it in SAFE MODE:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
Try AVG instead of Norton, also run in SAFE MODE:
http://free.avg.com/ww.download?prd=afe
You might have more things running in startup than you know about. Go to Start > Run… > Type ‘msconfig’ (no quotes) to check what’s really running at startup…
Hope this helps…
