Very Slow Computer

[Golden Screwdriver]

My computer has become very slow over the past month. I have run all the usual scans, Malwarebytes, Super anti-spyware, and other on-line scans. Can anyone help?

My specs:
Computer Dell Dimension 2400
Intel Celeron CPU 2.20GHz, .99GB RAM
Windows XP Pro, SP 3
30GB Hard Drive, 16.7 KB Free
MS Security Essentials, AdAware
RoadRunner Cable

When did you last clean up your files and do a defrag?

Two or three times a week

Next question. How full is your c drive? This can slow you down too.

My C: drive is a 30GB w/17gb Free, as I stated in my 1st post

Oops missed the 17. Next I would check the CPU processing. Here are the steps from EHow.

"Instructions

1.
Step 1

Start the Task Manager. Press the buttons Ctrl, Alt and Delete all at the same time. This will show a screen with several options.
2.
Step 2

Choose "Start Task Manager." This will open the Task Manager Program window.
3.
Step 3

Click the "Performance" tab. In this screen, the first box shows the percentage of CPU usage. Normally, this range will remain below 20 percent to 30 percent. However, if high CPU use is slowing a computer, spikes of 75 percent to 100 percent can be seen. "

I look for the simple things first. Also SP3 can and has caused slowdowns after installing.

I only looked at your log quickly as I have to get to bed. Nothing popped out on first read. Work starts early here. Will check back tomorrow and see how you are getting along.

Sorry I spent the last 36 hours doing a complete install of XP Pro, SP3. I was trying to get around that, but decided that it was the thing to do. Thanks, Greengoose1 for trying

I was wondering what happened to you. I take it the reinstall brought you back up to speed. This problem can be caused by many many things. One of the things you can do to save yourself some grief is to make manual restore points (I keep a folder on my desktop0 so the first time the computer hiccups I can restore to a previous good setting. Can save a lot of time.
