Slow loading of Pentium 4 laptop with 256 MB Ram ?

get another 256 mb of ram, you can fasten the right click speed, go to run and type in regedit, there, you have to set the time from 400 to anything arround 25 to 75, try it, but do carefully, as it may corroupt your os,

Maybe its the wrong type/speed of ram.\nI don't know what effect that has on CPU usage, but probably does.

i suggest you don't, Windows XP need at least 256MB or more of RAM to run smoothly

sounds like you need more Ram

you should get a memory upgrade.\n\nwith ram prices so low, you should probably go for 1Gb ram =)

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.

The difference in memory installed is probably being used by your video card.  It looks like around 22MBytes.

what are the specs for the systen ? OS and such amount of memory?\nsome malware/spyware can slow you down to all be damned use a good free anti virus and anti-spyware suite and speed can return!\ntry bitdefender free for antivirus.\nNorton can slow a system almost to a standstill as it is very resource intenseive

Do you have an antispyware? Run a scan because most of them are monitoring tools and thumbnails. Install the tune up utilities and evrything will be just fine. Ya they do slow down your computer as they use up ur RAM and also the booting time is increased.

sure minimum sys req:\n\n    *  Pentium 233 MHz (Recommended: Pentium 500MHz or greater)\n    * 64 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater)\n    * 52 MB hard drive space

first, try to defrag you haddisk - then try to cleanup you Harddisk ... both of them are in System Tools. Then scan you computer for virus or spyare... you can downlaod some free ware to scan you laptop\n\nafter you done things above and computer still slow - then u should upgrade you ram ..

U not mention about how much RAM u have..I think u must have at least 128 MB of RAM for normal or 256 or 512 Mb Ram for fastest working.\nand if Ur system memory is OK then maybe this will help u.\nplease note the following.\nclick on START and then RUN. and then type\nregedit\nthen when reg window opens see in the left side of window and find\nCURRENT_USER\nthen CONTROL PANEL -> DESKTOP \nnow on the right side find \nMenuShowDelay and double click on it\nnow change delay time to 0\npress F5 and restart Ur computer,\nnote if u not find menuShowDelay then don't worry \non the right box of regedit window right click on free space and \nselect new string then type\nMenuShowDelay\nand value is "0" (with out "")\npress F5 and restart \nmaybe it help u... with great regards.\nur friend.\nLOVE U.

Check the amount of RAM, processor speed and the video card in your system, while everyone so far has been quite correct that network bandwidth is an issue the fact that changing tabs is slow suggests a problem with your machine.\n\nCheck a virus scan or adware scan just to be sure there isn't some huge resource hog. If you find the problems really getting to you you may want to run less programs at once. I don't really want to patronise you with other basic computer things, I'm sure you have the idea :-)

yah it shoudl run without any issues make msure you have more than 512 MB RAM.\n\nkshounish

delete the stuff that you dont need\ndefragment (start > program files > accessories > system toold > system defragmenter)\nupgrade your memory to a faster one
