Okay i was having a dilemma... should I put it in "operating systems" or "computer support"... i figured it wasnt actually about an OS necessarily, so I put it here. End of disclaimer...
Hey people I have a problem. My win XP machine was bought only recently, and up until now it has been reliable, not crashing once. However, in the past few days it has been transformed into one that either: Freezes up for no reson Does not boot sucessfully, often Slows down to an unbearable point (even though it is 3.00 GHZ pentium 4 HT) when only one program is running... Restarts itself when I click on some hyperlinks in internet explorer... As you can see, its not looking too healthy. Is there any reson for this? What has happened, and can I fix it? Thanks very much in advance... (( I can see some microsoft jokes coming my way! )) |

Yes, as you find, there are lots of matter with you if you use this OS. XP looks fine but has no more benefit except this. Win2000 is better.

Do you reckon I have a virus? It shouldnt be spyware, since I have adaware and spybot SD. My norton subscriptions run out though.... :| Oh dear.

NO, i didn't think that you have any virus. Its normal for the XP after some days. It runs slow and start up difficult. It only means you should reinstall it.

I like w2000 much. I think its the most reliable windows system.
XP will do better in the future, its must the one which replace the w2000 professional, but not at this time. |

hmm, I heard all those symptoms before, but it doesn't fit into context. Do you use any CPU intensive programs |
