[Kunal]

Hi, i just installed winxp sp1a on me system. n now its gone well slow! anyone know y or had da same problem? i used the full install file. help! pls!

[Supernatural]

There have been reports of XP SP1 slowing down some user's systems. There is a patch to fix this, I just don't know which one. There are too many. :P Just download all the patches/updates from the Windows Update site until there 0 critical updates left. Also DL any of the 'Windows XP' updates you may need/want.

is it worth gettin SP1, i used to install it but it made no difference?

[Supernatural]

SP1 fixes ALOT of major bugs and vulnerabilites. It's a must for any XP user.

Run BootVis.

just go and get the rest of the Critical Updates. The fix patch should be in there.
Then go defrag and all that...do a boot sector defrag if your prog. has that option.

Did you defrag after the service pack? The SP1 replaces many system files and the new files will be placed all over the drive. It's usually a total red mess.

[Kunal]

yes i defragged!
