XP slow all the way around
Trying to help out good ole Grandfather. He has a HP 1.4g Celeron running XP Home , Large HD size ? lot of ram ? The unit is maybe a year old.
Takes everybit of 3 to 4 min to boot up. And operations seem slow to me, but I am not all that familiar with XP myself. He tells me he is keeping up with the defrag, and virus scan. I saw on another board that some thought there could be a conflict with MS Messenger? I did notice that he had it loaded on his confuzer. HP did not feel it necessary to send a XP disk with his computer so Reformat is kinda out the window isn't it? He said he has used the restore or whatever XP has on it to go back in time.
Any Ideas where to start on this one? Thanks DS
