I have a Dell Dimension 4300. After only two years it is running at a snail's pace. I have added a second harddrive for space reasons and this may be contributing to the lag. That said, the machine was running slow before the drive was installed. I am running XP with a 1.59 GHz proc and 256 MB RAM. I have about 20% of my memory left on my original drive and over 50% on the new 120 Gig fella.
I have gone through and ran the recommended anti mal ware applications in order to attempt to put the paddles to my machine. But have had no success. I actually had three infected files that were scrubbed. I thought that this would help. no joy.
What direction do I go from here?
