I am working on a dell computer pentium 4 1.6 mghtz with 128 mb of ram. The computer stopped responing completly, so they brought it to me and I could not get it to start even in safe mode. it would go so far and then say windows is shutting down to prevent damage to your computer. I wrote zero's to the hard drive and then reinstalled windows which took several hours. what I mean is when it say 33 minutes remaining to load files it took several hours instead of 33 minutes.Once I finally got windows loaded it is just really slow, Like for something that should just take seconds take sevearal minutes. what I mean is just clicking on the start menu and the start menu should just pop up it takes several minutes for it to pop up and then you click on control panel and it takes another several minutes to open the control panel. Any help will be greatly appreciated as to what would make this computer so slow. Thanks for any Help. Leander Haffner
