Hi, hope you can help me.

The machine is a small but crucial laptop - Dell Inpiron 2600 - long in tooth but still vital to me. Runs XP with SP2, Celeron 1066Mhz, 382 Mb RAM, 830M graphics controller, 20G HDD (with 5G free space but more about this later).

Have struggled for a long time (years?) with slow processing and a 30+ minute re-boot time. Get lots of HDD chattering until eventually I get to do some work.

What prompts this cry for help is that in last few days I created 5Gb free space by deleting stuff, removing stuff and compressing the drive during Disk Cleanup and then within a few days the 5Gb disappeared and shows me having just 156Mb free space!

This afternoon, have CAREFULLY followed the clearing up stages shown on thread 46313 and now have the 5Gb back - but the processing is still really slow.

Please can someone have a look at the attached logs and see if there is a visible cause for the slow processing and any possible ACTION I could take?

I would really APPRECIATE any help you can give as I have a large job to do on here and I dread the slow processor.

Thanks in anticipation
Grody
