Sounds virussy. Are you able to boot up in safe mode to run a virus check? \n\n(Hit F8 repeatedly during the boot to get the boot menu, and choose safe mode)

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.

Try..\nDeleting temporary files\nDisc cleanup\nDefrag\nIf it still runs slow get an expert to look at it.

hit control alt delete.  Then look at your processes and delete every process that it will let you delete except "Explorer" which is windows.  Then your system will run fast again.  Try it.  Seriously.  \n\nIt won't hurt your system....I promise.

low memory, virus, to many open programs. try closing all programs and just run virus scanner and see if it speed up ur computer.

Sounds like a virus. Update whatever virus scanner you have then scan the computer in safe mode.\n\nYou get into safe mode by hitting the F8 key while it's booting up at the very beginning.

Its probably ur motherboard's that causing the slow down. Try reinstalling ur drivers for ur pc (graphics card, sound etc.). If it doesnt work, reinstalling SP2 might help, most of the time, its just a rare one-time error

Just restart your computer and hit F8 repeatedly until you get a windows menu.  That menu should give you an option to boot up in safe mode.

Load as in start up? The main culprit in slow startup is a ton of useless garbage in startup. Go to Start>Run and type msconfig and go to the startup tab. Uncheck programs you don't want to start, which should be almost everything.\nAnother program that makes it easier to manage startup is tune-up utilities 2006. Will also clean out junk files and registry too which helps. Free trial for 30 days. Also C-Cleaner is free and does this too.\nhttp://www.tune-up.com/\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp

That is a very generalized problem without more specifics its hard to help you. are you talking it starts up slow or programs load slow or video game frame rates are low? Also what are the basic specs of your system Processor, RAM, Video card, and operating system.\nAll this information would be helpful in correctly answering your question.\n\nThat said if you are talking about general slowness on startup and opening programs this is what I would look at\nSpyware/Adware- if you are not running any spyware protection you likely have it and this can really slow down a system. There are several free programs I recommend  Spybot search and destroy, AdAware and spyblaster I strongly recommend runnig all 3 if you don't ave a commercial product like spyware doctor. the important thing to remember is that most antivirus programs are not geared towards spyware so don't think an antivirus program will stop this problem.. if youare not runnig spyware protection I would erg you to at least get one of the free scanners and do a system scan and see what it shows.  If it shows a lot of problems let it try to clean them. If it can't clean some try restarting your computer in safe mode and rescan the system. Either way if you find you have a large problem you might look at one of the retail products Personally I recommend spyware doctor but spysweeper and pest control are also highly rated products in this area.\n\nThe other problem that can slow a system down is not enough available memory (RAM).. You can do one of two things\n1.buy more memory\n2. if you have a lot of programs loading at start-up  this can eat up a lot of memory. click on start then click on run  a little box should pop-up type MSCONFIG then click ok. A new window will open may take a minute on the far right you'll see a tab called start-up click on it. now you see all the programs that load whne you start your computer. If you are not using some of these programs you can disable their startup by un-checking the little box. \nhope this helps

it looks like ur processor with 433 MHz is too slow for running Win XP..\n\nfollw these steps to get the maximum performance it can give:\n\n-- Run Disk Clean Up for each drive every day.. it can be found in the start>programs>accessories>system tools..\n\n-- Run Disk Defragmenter for each drive once in a week.. it too can be found under start>programs>accessories>system tools.. this may take hours..\n\n-- Run Error Check(Scan Disk) for each drive.. Right click the drive icon.. take properties.. inside the 'Tool' tab it will be found..\n\n-- Check for unused programs that are installed in the system and remove if any..  this can be done using Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs..\n\n-- Right click My Computer.. take properties.. take 'Advanced' tab.. take 'Settings' under 'Performance' section.. choose 'Adjust for best performance' button.. apply the changes..\n   take 'System Restore' tab in the same window.. select 'Turn off system restore on all drives'.. apply the changes..\n   take 'Automatic updates' tab.. choose 'Turn off automatic updating'..(This step is not a must)..\n   click ok..\n\n-- Take Start>Run, type msconfig.. a window will pop-up.. inside that take statup tab.. check for unwanted startup intems and uncheck it all.. it requires restarting of the system..\n\nrestart your system.. now it will give the maximum performance it can.. good luck..

Dont say what OS? Press F8 at start up and see if it does the same in safe mode. If you can log in run a virus check

Go to www.pcpitstop.com and run its diagnostics.\n\nThis will diagnose whether your problem is:\n- processor too slow\n- not enough RAM\n- disk fragmentation, speed or capacity\n- spyware installed/ OS patches not installed\n\nor a combination of these.\n\nDeinstall any applications you no longer use, and delete, compress or archive any unneeded data.

Run Defrag. \nDownload and run spybot.\nDownload and run adaware.\n\nThat's a good start.
