Like it says guys, I'm tryin to help my friend out here by sprucing up his laptop. It's fairly new from what I can tell, it's a Celeron 1066 with 256megs of ram running XP Home with I think a 20 gig HD (it takes about 5-10 mins to boot, thus why I don't have an exact number) and sadly enough my Celeron 733 with 192 megs of ram that I'm using right now is much much quicker than this almost 2 year newer laptop. We think spyware is a big problem, and it probably is, but every time I try to scan with Ad Aware or Spybot the PC freezes so I'm out of ideas on how to clean this thing up.
Any help or ideas on what might be causing it to run so sluggish?
Thanks.
