very slow xp

rohitshubham · 17-08-2008, 12:40 PM

hi]
My computer has become very slow though the startup is fast but the computer is very slow
i was playing vice city today and the game was crawling .
Was this due to the virtual drive as today i mounted the Cd contents on the virtual drive through a NERO imagedrive or i yesterday intalled a new windows xp on the same drive.is that the reason
I have a 256mb ddr1 ram,nvidia geforcefx5200 graphic card and intel i845g mother board and i am currently working on windows xp proffesional.

Installing two OSes on the same partition can be a problem.

cooldudie3 · 17-08-2008, 01:03 PM

256MB for memory is going to make any game crawl. It is not essential for any computer today.
Installing 2 OSs on the same partition is not recommended and may make the whole system slow down.
If you installed a new Windows XP, you should first partition, next format and then install.

^^My friend played Vice City on 128MB RAM and 845 onboard gfx card. eXperience counts my friend.

cooldudie3 · 17-08-2008, 01:18 PM

128MB playing a game? I play games on my 512MB and man, are they slow!

Psychosocial · 17-08-2008, 01:20 PM

^He played on the lowest resolution with the lowest setting and it ran. Beleive me or not ..... IT RAN

.

Anyways, install a single OS per partition.

cooldudie3 · 17-08-2008, 01:25 PM

i don't think he partitioned and formated the partition. I read somewhere it is hard to install 2 OSs in one partition. But I know it is possible but highly not recommended

Psychosocial · 17-08-2008, 01:33 PM

^^I had installed Windows 98 and Windows XP on the same partition

.

cooldudie3 · 17-08-2008, 01:36 PM

Why install Windows 98 if you have XP??

Ok, I hope the author gets it, though he's offline

Psychosocial · 17-08-2008, 02:07 PM

^^98 was installed before XP

.
