Do an internet speedtest. Find out what your bandwidth is and see if it's a problem there. If you're dropping packets it should be obvious there. Then try reseating all your cables.

You should upgrade to Windows 2000. Take it from Bill Gates.

format c: should take care of all your troubles.

 

[amdwolfman]

Well maybe you would go and format with out knowing what is causing the problem. But not me, I find things out,one way or another , figure it out. Anyone else with a suggestion?

You have a Seagate restore disc? That usually cleans up everything!

HOw many programs are you running?

 

[BillGates]

You should try to create a new user profile on XP and see if that speeds things up. Sometimes your registry hoses itself and creating a new user resolves the problem and proves that it isn't the underlying operating system that is causing the problem.

Also, check for GATOR or anything of that nature.

and see if windows is running, that thing has been slowing down all my pcs for years!

Reboot, and if that doesn't help, try a defrag.
