I have a Dell Dimension 300 desktop, Windows XP Home, 5.1.2600 svc pk 3, Intel 279 Mhz, 512 MB memory, using IE6 sp3. It has been starting and shutting down extremely slow. When I go on the internet, it's been slow. Last night I installed IE8, and the problem got worse. It was even slower. So I did a System Restore just now, and it seems just as slow as after installing IE8, but now I'm back to IE6
View 14 RepliesHaving trouble at start up, very slow and opening IE or any other program also slow.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have an IBM X31 laptop that I just recently formatted and installed Windows XP on. Previously, I had no problems with the laptop. However, since I have installed Windows XP, the internet access has been very very slow. I am on a internet connection through my school network that is normally extremely fast. A webpage takes 45 seconds to a minute to load up, and I am downloading at a speed of about 2-5 kb/sec. The network connection is fine, as I have plugged my desktop into the internet and it works normally. I have also reinstalled windows several times, yet I cannot solve this issue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI turned my computer on, and for maybe 10 minutes after i turned it on (when i got my homework done) I couldnt connect to my mail with Outlook, when i opened Firefox, all i could get was google, and i could search for something, but i couldnt go to any website. So i decided to try IE and it has been working so far, but it go slower than a 100 year old women. Could this be a virus or something?
View 14 Replies View RelatedThe problem I've got is this. About a week ago I noticed that I was struggling with internet access. Wifi connects to a known router no problem but actually accessing sites can be a pain. I often have to refresh multiple times in the browser (happens in Firefox, Chrome and Opera) to get it to finally load the page. MSN also struggles to connect, as do the likes of Dropbox and anti-virus. Most web pages / resources do finally load up if I try enough times but it's very, very time-consuming

View 6 Replies View RelatedAnyhow, on my second laptop, my roommate borrowed it and of course has no idea what she could've possibly ever done. She's probably a lil' too dense to realize if she download or got some kind of virus using it. And, of course, she didn't bother telling me right away so when I went to start up the laptop one day, it was going extremely slow.It took about 10 minutes for the laptop to boot to the windows login screen. Any mouse movement whether on the mousepad or when I hook up my USB mouse takes about 1 minute to register any movement. I haven't even been able to get to the main desktop screen. (I'm trying as I type.. but, judging by the length of how long it took the other stuff, I could be in for a long wait.) Even when I typed in the password it took about 5 minutes for it to seemingly type out.. but the "dots" cut off so I have no idea if it actually will go through or not or if I will get the "incorrect password" error message.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a demension 8400 with windows xp pro media center. It has a 3 ghz processor 160gb hard drive. I have it on a wireless setup. I don't know much about the inside of a computer so I need help. It is extremely slow to open 1/2 hour or so and even more so to get into any program or internet. Yesterday I checked everything I could check and somehow or another I found a screen that had appeared stating errors and saying something about images not being able to open.
View 19 Replies View RelatedLately my computer has been extremely slow, not just internet slow but onboard slow. For example, if I click on an application from the desktop it will sit there for 10-20 seconds before anything happens. Occasionally I'll click multiple times on something and nothing will happen then 30 seconds later it will open multiple instances of things. This delay has been happening with just about anything I click on, acting like the computer's busy doing something else when nothing else should be going on. I've looked in the task manager and the applications column will be blank

Extremely slow when installed XP. It also lists many boxes across the top in the blue part instead of listing the site, place and Windows Internet Explorer. It also lists boxes in the tabs at the bottom and before anything pops up after you click on a site in Explorer it says About Blank in the tabs. Is this because the RAM in his computer doesn't support this version of Windows?

When I use a program for the first time after a reboot it opens slowly but after that it flies.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have an HP A1750Y Desktop. Specs are ASUS P5LP-LE MoBo, 2GB Ram, Pentium D 820 2.8 Ghz processor. I bought this computer with Windows Vista installed, and have been running it that way for the last few years. Boot-up has always been extremely slow, even from the day it was new, and it had gotten worse to the point that it would take about 15-20 minutes to boot. The Bios screen itself would be on for a long time, and then after the Vista Desktop would load, it would still be an additional 5 minutes until icons or the start bar would load.
To my surprise, the boot times were not improved at all! The computer itself works well and has good speed after finally booting up, but it takes about 15-20 minutes from power on, until you can use the OS. I did the install with a brand new HDD, so a HDD problem is not the culprit.
Computer booted into windows XP nice and fast as per usual, and i played some Battlefield 2142 after checking some messages/emails. Later i played some Crysis to find i had to mess around with updating punkbuster in order to get it to work. Failing that i looked around the internet with Firefox and then contacted punkbuster for help and went back to play BF2142 again. But! The map took absolutely ages just to get halfway. So i assumed Crysis had eaten up enough resources to make everything else sluggish. So i rebooted, only to discover i couldn't boot into XP! It just hung there with the little loading bar animation for what seemed like an indefinite period of time. I hit the reset button and try to boot in another three times without success. I try booting into my Vista install and have no trouble whatsoever. So i boot into safemode and find everything to be quite slow, but it's hard to gauge the speed of safe mode as most graphics drivers aren't loaded. So anyway i schedule a disk check for when i next boot in.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy computer started slowing dow about a month ago. It got to where it took forever to load when I turned the computer on and even opening software took forever. Same with turning it off. It also hangs up on me. I can't even press Ctrl + Alt+ Delete to end a program when its not responding. I have to strictly turn the computer off just to get somewhere. I uninstalled and reinstalled Norton. I have the entire Norton system and catches nothing. It says all systems are working properly.
I was asked earlier if I had ever put a music CD in the computer that was by SONY, and I can say that probably close to 20 over the 4 years that I have had it. I was told that SONY puts this "thing" on the CDs that transfer to your computer before you even hear the music so that you are penalized if you try to duplicate them.
The computer is a Dell Dimension 3000 with 512 MB RAM, and an Iomega Zip Drive attached. For some reason, it is running EXTREMELY slow at times, and need to reboot. I have run Trendmicro, Mcafee, Panda, Microsoft Antispyware, and Adaware but nothing serious seems to come up. I've run Registry Mechanic, Regseeker but it still runs slow at times.
