Extremely Slow XP Machine (any tips on making pc fast)?
N.B: I asked Brink If I could post stuff to do with XP in Chillout Room, he says it's fine. So don't move it or delete it.
My Dad's Machine is a Dell Inspiron 630m, it's nearly 6 years old. (Bought from Dell.co.nz, Year 2005) Runs on XP Home Edition SP3.
Intel Pentium M 750 (1.86GHz) Processor
512MB MB RAM
80GB HDD (1.73GB free)
Windows XP Home Edition SP3
I just want to know how to speed up XP Machines. It takes nearly 20 minutes to boot up. Maybe is it a virus or spyware causing the system to slow down?
I do appreciate if I can get this problem sorted quickly, my dad doesn't like to go to the market or retails to find a new system.
Whenever you go to program (ie. Control Panel), doesn't respond. System does not freeze and there is no BSODs at all. MS Security Essentials report that the system is clean.
