Your PC is trying to tell you to upgrade!!!

this will take same time as u need to dowmload some thing.\n\nfor normal internet connection it takes 5 min for 1 MB\nso it will also take 5 min to up  load a file of 1 MB \n\nusually 2-3 picticures make 1 MB. So 1-2 min for each photo is normal \n\nif more then it as 5 min for one photo then it will because of ur slow PC Ram & processer

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.

That is why - its the size of your file... 10 mb is a lot for a 56kb modem... which is why I switched to dsl.... got tired of waiting all the time.

2 - 5 seconds ain't really that bad.  Some people complain when it takes 10 seconds to start up.  But if you're really that upset, do a disc cleanup (start -> all programs -> accessories -> sytem tools -> disc cleanup.)  After you do that, do a defrag (same steps as before but when you click on system tools -> defragment.)\n\nIf you've never done the disc cleanup or defrag before, they could take a LONG time.  First time I did a defrag it took over two hours.\n\nThese two things are free.  You didn't say how much RAM you have but if you can add more, that will also help speed things up.  If drive C has only 15GB I'm guessing you might be running 256MB RAM.  See if you can upgrade to 512 or even 1024MB (1 gigabyte) if your computer can handle it.

Well it seems to be a slowdown due to a trojan not checked by your tools.\nSo first of all make a back-up or transfer all  your data to another support. Then format the residential HDD and everything will be fine.\nIF this is too much complicate and time wasting I'll suggest a couple of links where you can connect and get better freeware to clean-up your system....let me know.\nb/regards

This could be because Windows is unable to unload a device driver or terminate a service. Incorrect Power management settings can also cause similar errors. \n\nCheck the link below for more details.

The only way to sort this problem out is to reformat your hard drive and allocation the correct allocation ( set to auto ).\n\nYour hard drive has been formatted with a compressed filing system which not only makes your pc slower, but limits you to what you can do with your drive.

your speeds are limited to the hardware that you have. there is a delay in each networking device your information travels through, however, if you are using a broadband router, there is nothing you can do about this, if you are using a commercial grade router you might consider changing routing protocols, or changing the hold down timers, this will help open up your network so that updates on routes are sent as often, however, it could cause it to take longer to know when something has gone down.

It's very possible that you have a virus, or spyware, or even more probable, a trojan.  Clean it out, and it should be faster.  Also try defragmenting the hard drive as well.

If you're using XP SP2, then maybe your firewall is enabled and set to block file and folder sharing.\n\nIt could also be a bad cable.

Ok, when you click any key to start windows 2000 installation, I would advice you to wait until 10 minutes goes through since it is going to be loading all the files and necessary things. If you see after you click on "any key" a blue screen with a line at the bottom of the screen telling you that it is loading stuff, it is not "INSTALLATION" it is just preparation for installing. \nAfter 10 minutes, depending on your Cd-rom speed, it should go to a screen which would tell you what to do, it is also going to be a blue screen, it is going to tell you what you want to do... INSTALL WINDOWS 200o or repair it... you chose.....\n\nOne thing don't forget to do is to put CD or DVD rom on the first list in your Boot Menu, to do that you should click on f2 during the restart and put CD rom on the top of the list.\n\nAfter that put the CD in the CDrom and restart the computer, it should give you a black screen telling  you to "Press any key" or something of that sort....\n\nhope this helps,

perhaps you need more memory... or you have too many windows opened at one time. you could also have virus checks, etc running in the background slowing down your computer.
