have you cleared your temp internet files\n\nalso it depends what all you're doing at the same time, like running a p2p or something

Your internet browser is most likely slow because you probably have a numerous amount of spy/adware on your computer. This spyware has been known to slow internet browsing up 10 times slower than what it should be. I would reccomend that you get a spyware removal program. If you already have one, I would reccomend using it once daily. If you dont have one already dont be alarmed thinking that you have to go buy this program. There are many free ones out there. Adaware SE is a very good and highly recomended one.

Playing games uses more of your computer's memory than just surfing.  It can overload your computer.  When's the last time you defragmented your computer?  That might help.

Delete the History,temp internet files and cookies. Also clean the registry using a registry cleaner. This should speed up your PC.

Run a virus scan from one of the online guys, get a anti virus program and keep it up to date, run a virus scan. Does the PC seem slow, does it seem to do things on it's own, do you notice network activity when your not doing anything?

I know you may have already done it all but try doing it again as a complete procedure (I0ll skip virus scans in the process as you said you have no viruses)\n\n1) Download CCleaner and perform a scan/cleaning\n2) Download a registry cleaner (like Eusint Free Registry Cleaner) and perform a cleanup of registry\n3) Perform a scan with AD Aware and another for Trojans\n4) Remove all the files from \nC:&#92;documents and settings [Your name folder]/Local Settings/ Temp \nand from\nC:&#92;documents and settings [Your name folder]/Local Settings/ Temporary internet files\nand from \nC:&#92;documents and settings ALL USERS/Local Settings/ Temp\nC:&#92;documents and settings ALL USERS/Local Settings/ Temporary internet files\nThen go to \nC:&#92;Windows&#92;Temp and remove all the files\n\n5) download a registry optimizer/defragmenting program and run it (Like Registry Mechanic)\n\n6)Finally, perform a defrag and reboot.\n\nThe PC should improve considerably.\n\nBear in mind that if you hard disk is over 50/60% full then the performance decay can be cuased by that. The free space is normally used for swap or other operations you are not even aware until the space becomes lower and the PC slows down.

Have you installed any programs? Those programs could be running in the background eating up speed. I would recommend you try uninstalling them. Also you may want to download and run an anti-spyware programm. You may have inadvertantly gotten some  ad programs on your PC that could be slowing you down.

This is a tough one. It has nothing to do with viruses and the like. More has to do with defragmentation and increased storage. The first thing you want to do is thin out stuff you just dont use. (ie those toolbars with huge caches of sites you dont know about or that old game show video game with all the avi files) Next once you have removed all the programs nicely from the remove program window and everything you can do with out is gone then run a hard drive "defrag" which is found under system tools under accessories in the start menu. Once that is done if your still noticing slow down . Isolate where you see it. Chances are if its slow down during applications opening its your hard drive simply trying to locate data. WHen your computer is new there is less data for it to access there for seek times are a tad faster. also after it is defraged it doesnt have to seek two physically different parts of the disks to find your info. Hope that helps.

This is a difficult question to answer because I need more info. What windows are you running, how many (if any) firewalls or virus detectors do you have running. But here is a general problem. As I said firewalls and virus blockers can mess with your games. Also, if you have had your current windows for a while it can slowly lose performance over time. Do you update regularly? Do you delete Internet cookies? Try adding the game to the exceptions portion of windows firewall and any similar applications.

your system could be slow due to various reasons like cache memory being full, you are running many programs in one go etc. Best option is to use a prog like cclearner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) which can help clear unwanted programs and files and clean up your memory of the junk files. This should help your system respond bettem. \n\nAlso check your system for virus by scanning it with a good anti virus program and for spyware by using share ware prog like windefender or yahoo defender etc.\n\nIf this does not work, you may have to increase the ram memory in your system.

First of all, you will start to notice that your computer is running slower and messing up.\n\nI would advise you to run a virus protection system.  They can help clean out your computer and rid you of viruses.\n\n\nHope this helps!

One of the reasons could be spyware. Spyware will slow t down. Scan your PC with these programs.\n\n.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market.

Hi,\n\nYou might have many spyware programs installed on your pc without your knowledge. Spyware programs gets installed on your just by simply going on some sites on the internet or downloading a program and installing.\n\nAnother thing that is slowing you down is your video card which is the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 although it can play some games it is really a very low end video card. And Half Life 2 is a very heavy game.By that I mean it has a lot of graphics etc. Your video card cant handle it all.\n\nSo I recommend a new video card, and if you have extra money also get another 512mb ram this will help improve your game :)

A virus can cause a slow computer or if it is over loaded with to much crap. Go to Settings from your start menu and select control panel then select add/remove programs. Here you can clean up your computer and remove unwanted programs. If you don't already have MacAfee virus and firewall protection you can download free trial versions off the Internet. All you can also defrag you computer this compresses all your files. I am not certain how to do this but it does help your computer.
