Run a Spyware scan, which is probably the number one reason for a slow computer these days.  The Yahoo toolbar has a good one, powered by Pest Patrol.  There are other free ones available at http://www.download.com/  The best two free ones IMO are Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D.\n\nAfter you run one or more of these, also do a virus check, a disk defrag and other tweaks, and you should be back to normal.  If ALL ELSE fails, back up what you can, and reinstall Windows.  If that doesn't work, it's a hardware problem.\n\nGood luck!

I had the same problem.  First I started using Amish back door site, then my problem was solved by switching from ME to XP.  You should also try defragging.

No. If i were you i would get Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition to maintain your computer. Try to defrag it once in a while. Try to clean out your disk space.

1) Run a defrag utility at the end of every week.\n2) Regularly scan for and remove viruses/spyware/adware.\n3) Get unused icons off your desktop.\n4) Cut down on running processes. You can do this by telling some of the programs you see near the time in your start up menu NOT to start on startup if you are not immediately going to use them. Also research the functionality of the services under Control Panel->Administrative tools and set their startup type to disabled if you will not be using them (right click the service you want to stop, then select properties). Don't stop these without doing your research because you DO need some of them.\n5. If you are still slow, add more RAM. \n\nFor faster internet, also clear your cache, cookies, and temp files (Tools->Internet Options in Windows, IE)

well, it can be anything like spyware, adware, bugs, virus, your hard disk over loaded, cookies....it may slow down your systems.

There are a few windows tweaks to improve the performance, but make sure the problem is with ALL downloads before you start messing with the registry. \nTry a site like download.com and check the speed there.\nMany sites have crappy internet connections or otherwise limit the speed they upload files to the internet.

If your running windows push cntrl + alt + delete and then once the task manager is up ,select shut down from the top menu. \nA good software program that will analyze all the running components is called codestuff. Download it and you will see exactly whats running and will even let you google the specifics of the component etc. You can shut down anything with this without the slow response windows can give you.\nhttp://members.lycos.co.uk/codestuff/

Do a regular disk defragment (this is like doing filing within your comp - puts files back in place) from "all programmes>system tools>defragment".  Install a programme like cccleaner (a free download), this cleans everything from temp files, memory dumps, MRU lists and a tonne of stuff.  AVG FREE antivirus is great.  Make sure your Firewall is turned on through your Security centre in the control panel...if you run all these programmmes on a regular basis it should keep things running smoothly, alternatively upgrade your memory as the fuller it becomes the slower things will get.  Hope this helps :)

Well XP is not slow,,the problem is with your Hardware Configuration.\nYour  Hardware Configuration is too Odd and that's why XP is unable to support it ,, so it Slow.

I highly endorse what Scott and Daniel said, but also like Goswin said, if you can muster up some geek courage you might also try a different operating system.  Try a Linux varient, several of them are really easy to install, load desktop environments by default and have decent compatibility with the hardware you're probably running.  And they don't bog down your computer.  Ubuntu and Red Hat both come to mind.

Go to "start".."run"....type in msconfig and check out your settings under "startup" and uncheck anything that might be slowing your computer down.\n\nHope this helps
