Veryyyyy Slow

[Lincoln-Imp]

Ive got XP now and when i go on the net it runs fine but after a couple of minutes it goes really slow and the pages take a while to load up, is there anything i can download so that it doesnt go slow? and has anyone else had this problem?

What pc do you have?

[Lincoln-Imp]

Its a tiny one. Its got 1000MHz amd athlon processor, 256 mb ram and 40 gb hard disk

Goes slow all the pc ,or only the internet 'If you want to give a boost to the internet pages go HERE (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=55137).

I have almost the same specs:
1ghz Intel Celeron
384MB RAM
20GB Hard Drive

My comp runs about as fast as I can make it.

The only simple answer I can think of is that maybe you have to many processes running in the backround, using a lot of CPU? Check out your Task Manager. But if it's just the web pages, that link SH posted works like a charm. :)

22 processes are running, is that to many? Yup it is just the internet

[razorsharp013]

No, 22 is fine, I have over 30 running right now. Follow that link on SH's post it'll help a lot. And check your internet settings.

i went on that link and it has helped a bit but im afraid it is still very slow, it was never this slow when i was on ME, if i downloaded some updates from the microsoft site (probably the modem driver ;) would that work?

[razorsharp013]

Possibly, but you have to restart to make those registry changes take effect. And it's probably something small, like your modem, or browser settings. I know there are posts about that, don't ask me where though. Use the board search engine. And what type of connection do you have anyway?

56 k

Try this:

control panel > phone and modem > modems > properties > advanced > advanced port settings....move the sliders all the way up/

Also:

control panel > phone and modem > modems > properties > modem > set your maximum port speed at the highest setting.

Remember, being on 56k you can also just be having a lousy connection day, I get those too.

Unfortunately all those settings were already set to there highest :( would defraging it help?

[razorsharp013]

Defraging might do it. (I should've thought of that.) I suggest Perfect Disk, the best defrager imo. You can find it on Kazaa I'm sure. But just use the Windows one for now.
