I have a P400 running windows 98. I have run scandisk and defragmented my hard drive.
My computer is very sluggish. Is it time for me to get a better computer or just a bigger hard drive?

Hi Lisa,

How much RAM and HD capacity/free space? Scan your system for spyware and viruses. Did u run a disk cleanup before the defrag?Are there too many programs loading at boot? If so disable all except the basic ones.

I have 256 mb of ram, 32bit virtual memory, HD is a 1.99 GB/712 mb free space.
I have scanned my system for spyware and viruses.
I ran scandisk first before I defragmented.
Can you tell me the programs I can disable at boot? If this will help with speeding up my computer.
Thank you

Hi Lisa, sorry for the delay, you can check ur startup list here and decide what to retain.

I'd agree that the drive is too small. you can get a larger one and having atleast 512 RAM wud be ideal.
