    It is been too slowly.
    Hi,

    Recently, I have a problem with my internet speed. When I first enter website (Yahoo) it is no problem. Then I try to enter website under my mail. It takes forever more than 10 minutes. It doesn't allow you exit either. It is freezed. It said Microsoft explore not responsed, sometimes it said please switch to server is busy. I don't know what is wrong with my PC? Thanks advance for your help!!

    Now it sounds like you need to do some maintenance.

    Here's my usual C&P for cases like this:

    System maintenance includes:
    Defrag
    FULL patching
    Virus scanning
    Spyware scanning
    removal of rubish files

    Defrag is an inbuilt function in XP.
    Open My Computer > Right click C: > Tools Tab and its there.

    To make sure everything is running fine run both anti virus and anti spyware apps in normal AND safe modes. (make sure that they are updated first ! ;)) (AVG is good and free AV)
    (A couple of good removal tools are Spybot and Adaware)

    ALso an on line virus and spyware scanner is Trend Housecall

    Just a note: actively running two AV's on one machine can cause problems.
    So if you are thinking about it make sure your current one is disabled first.
    Same thing applies to online scanners as well.


    Removal of junk files is easy with CCleaner a free app that does exactly what

    If all this fails then a repair install may be in order:

    Here's the official Micro$oft way of doing it,
    and Here's one with screen shots.

    Basically this installs windows over the top of your current setup.
    So you don't loose any information you already have.

    This lot should resolve your issue.

    I think there is one program you really need for starters -- CCleaner -- Most POPULAR Downloads

    When the second page pops up -- CLICK ON -- Download the latest version

    filehippo.com - Download Free Software It is 100% free -- download & inastall

    With Cleaner selected run a scan by clicking ---> analyze ---> RUN CLEANER -- OK

    Then Select Applications Tab and click ---> analyze ---> RUN CLEANER -- Ok

    Under Cleaner --- select Registry -- click -- Scan for Issues -- Fix selected Issues

    A box pops up asking you -- Do You Want To Save Backup Changes To Registry -- YES

    Then a Box pops up wanting you to save CC xxxxx xxxxx file -- Save

    A box has fix all selected issues --- YES --- BOX --- YES --- Close

    Scan each section until there are no errors showing up

    The TOOL section allows you to remove any programs you want to remove

    I just want to put link up again filehippo.com - Download Free Software Save It To Favorites

    Many helpful downloads -- And a safe site to Download From
