Solve : Computer running very very slow.?

Answer»

Have a gateway running xp 128 ram.

I'm waiting on the virus pros to take a look at my hijackthis log but have a feeling its not just a virus or not a virus at all.

My antispyware and malwarebytes runs clean. I have my STARTUP to a minimum and followed all the ccleaner instructions.

While trying to download NEW versions of spyware my tower constantly runs into virtual memory problems mean while nothing else is running and the system set VM to 2/188 which according to the pros should be enough.

Is there anything else in the meantime I could check into. One more thing when my pc is refreshing the desktop icons look like they are being PEELED from the screen very slowly then the screen refreshes.

Any suggestions are a BIG help.

Thanks in advance,

128MB of RAM with Windows XP will be painfully slow. Nothing you can do except add more RAM.Its a celeron ?

In the bios it does say Slot 0 = 128 Slot 1 = empty ?

It has gotten a bit faster since I posted last I have done the following ;
1. Updated drivers
2. Cleaned house
3. Disabled microsoft firewall and alerts (big difference)
4. DOWNLOADED Firefox
5. I did some other things getting a brain fart.

Will the 128 cause the icons to sort of peel of the screen and when one screen over lays another leave the imprint of the top screen on the bottom screen for decades lol kidding but it does seem like a long time until it refreshes.

Thanks much,
MP.Celeron + 128MG RAM + XP = slow...Thanks Pat I guess i have it as good as its gonna get lol.

Things have come a long long way.
