My PC is running ever so slow. Have 13GB memory and 1.2 GHz, 496MB of RAM. I originally posted in Internet/Malaware Removal/HijackThis and greyknight17 helped me through a lot of processes. He/She has now suggested I post here - any help would be most appreciated! :tazz:

Hello msiz....

First things first...Run CleanUp (you probably downloaded this when you got to the Malware Forum. If not, you can get it HERE), then Disk Cleanup(Under System Tools), and then Disk Defragmenter (Under System Tools). Once that is complete, post back to this thread to let us know how it goes...

13GB HD space u mean? If the system is clean of malware, cool!
To help improve performance, you can, run a disk cleanup to get rid of temp. files, recycle bin files etc. After that boot into safe mode, run a CHDKSK and defragment. If you have too many items on start up, remove unwanted ones, also uninstall programs you never need. In fact doing these regularly and protecting the system from nasties shud keep it running fit and fine:)

Start > run
chkdsk /r
<enter>

a black box will appear asking you if you wish to run a checkdisk at next boot...say Y, then reboot. Take a walk as this can take a while

Please download Everest Home Edition, install it, run it, and post a log to this thread. This will give me your system information. Once we have a look at that we'll see if we can figure out what's going on.

496MB of RAM leads me to believe that either the RAM sticks themselves are damaged or the slots they go in are damaged. Also, what is the size of your hard drive and how much space is free? You can find this out by going into MY COMPUTER and right clicking on C: and then click on properties. It will show a pie chart and will say USED SPACE and FREE SPACE above it. Please give that information.

Theres lots of things you can do to speed up XP. One thing I always do first is set the advanced performance settings to adjust for performance, right click on my computer, advanced tab , under performance click settings and check the optino adjust for best performance.
this will disable all of the font smoothing and shading and all the other crap that comes by default with xp.

msiz...

Your system looks pretty good, but you're using a lot of your available RAM memory on something that's not showing in the Everest log. Would you post me a HJT log please, so I can take a look at your running processes?

It really would help your performance to add another stick of RAM...any more 512MB can get used up pretty fast...just for future reference... :tazz:

Click Start then Run, type msconfig and click "Ok". Under the "Startup" tab, scroll down and remove the checks from the following: (if present)

msmsgs
ypager
quicktime

Reboot your computer. On restart, you will get a dialog window regarding "Selective Startup". Check the box in the lower left and click "Ok".

Do you use the google toolbar a lot? There are some known issues with that application. If you don't use it frequently I would recommend uninstalling it through the Add/Remove Programs function in Control Panel.

Please post me a screen shot of your start up list in msconfig > startup.
(Click "Start" then "Run", type msconfig and click "Ok" and click the "Startup" tab)
Press the "Alt and PrtScn" keys together, then open the Paint program, click "File" then "New" then click "Edit" then "Paste", save the image and post it to this thread.
