Hei Jim.

This is a very common problem with XP and you made it worse with
fiddling with the page file. One thing you should do is check whether
your machine is infested with a virus. Second and only solution Back up
your files and format the hard drive (disk) and For Heavens sake do not
Back up before you check your machine for virus e.g. worms and install
XP again. And make sure you disable automatic updates from Microsoft.
:-) this should solve your problems.

Good luck,

John.

Subject: XP Slow Down

Hello Listers

I am using a Pentium IV with Windows XP (home edition). I have 512 ram.

Lately, my machine in taking longer to boot, and some program are slow
loading. I don't think it's my
page file because it stays within a certain range. My free space size is
shrinking by hundreds of mbs.

I have tried editing the "msconfig / startup", but when I re-boot, I
receive a message indicating that my
machine is in "selective mode". I am not sure what this does, and
restore to "normal startup".

Has anyone experience similar slow downs with XP? How is this remedied
to increase speed?

Thanks for any assistance.

Jim
