[recovering space - attachment deleted by admin]Well first off looking at your PC stats I would say off the bat that you don't have enough RAM. 265 is just not enough for Win Xp. I would suggest at least 512mb. A new 256mb stick of ram should only run you about $15-30 DEPENDING on what your pc takes.

Norton should catch most of your virus issue so I would think that viruses aren't an issue here. You could have allot of spyware/adware infesting your pc and that can harm performance.

That is Adaware which works pretty well at catching adaware infestations. Try running that and see if your condition improves.

As FAR as the CD rom issue. I really can't diagnose why that wouldn't be working without more information. When the CD is in the tray click on my computer and see if you can explore the contents of the CD manually. Gonna need more though to make a conclusion. previously speed was not a problem.. even know only word doc take lot of time.......

i tried manually for cd rom but still not working in this pc....

after installling norton speed goes slow down ....

so is it because of norton.... some one told me tat norton take lot of ram space.... tats why this antivirus should be installed only in pc having large ram.....

is it so?

and printer cd is properly working in other pcs.....Get rid of Norton, and get more RAM.Go to http://www.windowsupdate.com/ and get the updates.broni and evilfantasy...

if virus is not a problem than why cd for printer is not working with vishal pc.... and working on other pcs......Is that the only CD that isn't working on that PC?
