XP Slow Issues

(1/2) > >>

Oscar:
Hi Shane, some questions for you.

1. Going from window to window or escaping, this is slow.
2. Navagation around the computer can be slow e.g. opening documents.
3. Email slow when opening and closing and navigation.
4. Saving documents is also slow
5. Sometimes i have to re-click on the website or website page for it to open, either doesn't open or very slow.

Thanks again

Evan:
How much memory do you have installed and if you open task manager how many processes are running?

Evan

Shane:
All of those require the hard drive. If the hard drive is old and or dieing then your system will get slower and slower.

Have you ran any speed tests on the drive to see how it is doing.

Shane

Oscar:
Thanks Evan / Shane

How do you recommend to do the speed test?

Others seem to be doing better since running the updates.

Shane:
There are some free ones you can find. Also use my free drive speedometer and when your system is running slow you can see how much the drive is in use :-)
