    Slow PC
    Hi

    New to this site so hope Ive come to the correct forum!

    Anyway MY PC is driving me mad! It is running so slowly. I regularly run anti virus, spyware, registry clean, firewall etc. etc.

    I am using Windows XP, have 752MB RAM, 1.24GHz processor, 37.2GB hard drive space, of which 17.4GB is free.

    Im at my wits end with it and just don't know what to do!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    zism :)

    When was the last time you did a COMPLETE reinstall of XP.

    Something as simple as a format and reinstall will help, but is time consuming.
