also, open the case and clean it out (dust it with air can), this may not do anything as far as speeding it up, but cleaning out the dust never hurts.

that is a really old pc to begin with, im not sure how fast it is supose to run, adding another gig ram would really help.

if all else fails, you can always reformat the hard drive and start from scratch.


Have over 40G Free space. We are constantly running virus checks (it picked up and eliminated some viruses/malware couple days ago).

Reformatting??? Bit extreme isnt it? Will it be difficult for me to reinstall everything (files, folders, apps, OS, etc.?_:eek:
