Hi Tal,
I would recommend a couple of biggies below, followed up
by "the basics"
Disk Space: I would recommend at least 25% free disk space.
(consider compressing the disk, if you have XP/NTFS)
To compress disk:
My Computer, Right Click "Local Drive (C)", select "properties",
select "Compress Drive to save disk space", then "Apply".
I will take quite some time to complete the compression, but
you should end up with more disk space.
If you disk is formatted "fat" you won't be able to compress.
Memory: 128M is not enough for XP particularly if you have service pack 2.
I "got by" with 128M for a couple of months before upgrading.
You need at least 256M.
Standard Stuff
You should consider a adware and spyware software if you
don't have them. Not having this could cause your system to
crawl. Both are available "free" from www.komando.com under
"Kims shareware picks", "Best Shareware Picks". (SpyBot and
AdAware are what I use).
Update Windows and Explorer and set up for auto updates.
SP@ and all updates.
Good Luck
Hope this helps
Jim

I have a very annoying computer. It is running awefuly slow, even when one application is running, and the minimum applications are in the background (Norton AV, modem, and Babylon sometimes). I too often encounter the "white square" which replaces the red X on the explorer upper corner, and it stays stuck like that for a long time, sometimes even 30 sec...
I know my hard-disk is sometimes full (maybe 2% free), but I've tried formating and putting the basics back on but got only a small change, if any.
This makes me believe I probably have a hardware problem, but I'm not sure of that.
I hope someone could point out some lead or hint. I am including the summery of the Norton report.
Thanks a lot,
Tal.
