[rahulstein]

Hi guys and gals!
This is my first post!
I dont what happened or whenit happend but as soon as i swithch on the computer,it took me 30 minutes to reach my accont desktop!
I see in the Task manager there were no programs other than all MS WINDOWS programs like svchost.exe explorer.exe etc.
I even tried to disable all the programs and services(hiding all microsoft programs).Even this did not work.
And once due to some mistake when my friend pull out the internet cable and when windows showed me "Internet Cable Unplugged", I noticed that my pc worked 50% faster.
What was the problem?
I found no spyware or Virus when I scanned the whole hard drive.

Windows XP
128 MB RAM
596 Mhz Processor

Sometime before it worked well.
I have 2 OS both XP(c: , f I experience this problem first on f:
So i reinstalled the XP on c:
Now i get this problem both in c: , f:

Please Help!!
Thank U!

Upgrade your PC to P4-2.8Ghz and 512MB DDR RAM. then you will see a boost in performance. Their is no spyware but your PC is slow. Use only one OS as 2 OS will surely make your PC even more slow.

well my fren has a p3 500mhz, 128mb sdram and winxp runs fine on his pc. uninstall all the drivers and try reinstalling them (especially the IDE,ethernet drivers).

try using multiple spyware scaners (MS antispy, Spybot S&D, Lavasoft AdWare, XsoftSpy etc)
disable all eye candy features from Xp.
upgrading is no solution.

i ran Xp on 333Mhz celeron + 128mb(SD) ram perfectly.
