I have a dell demsion 2350 1.8 ghz processor 768 mb ram 30 gig hard drive and 80 gig slave drive. I recently had to have my hard drive reformated and of course LOST every thing, now my COMPUTER is so slow it takes forever to load pages...I have the ccleaner zonealarm I also run SPYBOT and adaware. Of course I only have dial up and I know thats always slow but it is way slower than before, also how can I reinstall my sp2 without it taking 75 HOURS ? Much thanks for any and all help
For what it's worth, I picked up SP2 on a disk that came with a computer magazine. It worked perfectly.
I believe that Microsoft will also mail one to you.

Being a fresh install means nothing as you can be infected in just seconds.I downloaded the ewido scan and it found one problem that adaware or spybot did not ...thanks and yes I do have norton  and it is up to date, but it is STILL running very slow...maybe it is dying   thanks for the help.When you reinstalled did you install the chipset drivers from the Dell site, or from your CD you got with the machine?I re-installed from my disks that I got with/computer and it is ntfs and I dont know how to find the allocation units ?     THANKS you guys are great! oh I am sorry I see I have to do chdisk will try thatok ran chkdsk and it was in read only.......I am really a computer dummy so please expalin further   thanksWhat about the chipset drivers?
