my computer hs got both XP and 98.
XP is very slow . RAM is 512 MB (single) , but still XP is very slow . the games and other
applications are quick . also certain things such as "regedit" , task manager donot work . a messsage comes " another program is currently using this file" . adaware donot find any object which is very critical . right click on start bar , and then "task manager" nothing comes . also the way search results display in "search" has also changed . i hav disabled all except 2 in the msconfig startup list . but still its slow. is there any prob with registry ? how can u clean up the registry and start from the begining ? i once reinstalled XP but the same desktop came afetr al tht process . theres sumthing called "great memo" which even adaware dint find , but i deleted it from its folder . yahoo msngr takes bit longtime to sign in too; but games are quick. but therse no prob in 98 . yahoo msgr is super quick in 98 . so wats the problem ? is it spyware ? or probs

Well XP is not slow,,the problem is with your Hardware Configuration.
Your Hardware Configuration is too Odd and that's why XP is unable to support it ,, so it Slow.

you should check for spyware, and try some tweaks from web
and disable theme service or go to control panel, system, advanced performance setting and set it for best performance
that will help and try some registry cleaner and you should defrg. your driver at least once a week. My one has 320 mb ram but
runs fast
and about taskmgr u should try task manager pro or you can check it through web
and if your graphic cards is less than 32mb u should buy one
AND there is lot of registry tweaks you can check that also

reinstall your windows and if you can i suggest that repartion and reformat your hard disk drive.
for increase the speed you can disable visual effects of windows xp :
mycomputer properties -> advanced -> preformance setting-> adjust for best preformance
and too you can increase size of virtual memory here:
mycomputer properties -> advanced -> preformance setting-> advance tab -> virtual memory -> change
also you can delete any file with *.tmp extention and clean the history an offline files of internet explorer
if you hove too many software installed on you pc remove any unusable ones ..

if Yor system not Have a Virus and your WinXp is Original you must USe a Optimizer Software (I Choose WINXPMANAGER).

Your HDD could be seriously fragmented, or the registry damaged!
