My Internet Explorer (and any other browsers as well) are running terribly slow right now, sometimes not even working at all, but I know it isn't a connection problem as all other computers on this connection, any messenger programs and online games run fine. The only other thing I've noticed going wrong is my keyboard seems to fail every now and then and miss a keypress.
I've run my antivirus and anti spyware and checked out everything to see hats cauing this but I cant seem to figure it out. anyone have any ideas?

alrighty time for some more details.
I've got 512MB of RAM and I'm runing nothing but AIM and my security programs so I dont think its the memory.
This isn't just right ow its been going on for a while so restarts and history and cache clearing and whatnot don't seem to help.
I guess I'll try a registry cleaner. havn't run one of those in a while.

My suggestion would be to download the free abexo registry cleaner (I think I got it from download.com or maybe download.net) I had a sloooooooooow computer too and I downloaded that and it had well over 800 registry errors to fix and after that it ran smoothly. Good luck!

You could try this, go to all programs, then accessories, then system tools then do a disk clean up, after that is complete try running the disk fragment and see if this cleans everything up. it may take a while to run these. If that does not work go to the start menu and click on run and type in msconfrig and make sure that the only thing that is checked is the necessary items. All kinds of things may be running in the back ground of your computer. good luck and God bless

you may have the skill to run XP without concern. look at your startup checklist of courses and get rid of the courses which you do no longer use for all time from the checklist, so as which you're actually not working too lots. additionally, look on the quantity of RAM which you have. you like a minimum of 512Meg (ideally a million GB or extra). additionally, defrag your laptop after removing all the momentary internet documents - this would sluggish you down. there is not any such component as a "residing house windows XP stress". you may could hit upon getting between the extra modern confusing drives that are quicker velocity; i could advise a Western digital 80GB or extra effective with a 7200 rpm velocity (perhaps it truly is what he's speaking approximately). each and every so often it takes a number of issues extra jointly to get the fee up. i could take the laptop to a community shop who specializes in this and get their assessment of your needs.

You probably have many things saved on the hard drive or memory, you may want to go over that and you can also try a reboot. Close some of the programs you have running too; go to "RUN" and take it from there. GOOD LUCK

Go to download.com and search for TuneUp Utilities 2006. It is free and full functioning for 30 days, then it will cost you. But at least you have 30 days to work with it and see if it helps your problem prior to purchasing it. It will find alot of things and fix and delete it for you if you tell it to . Works pretty good, I tried it and like it.

Get more RAM. My computer was doing the same thing; it only had 64 mg of RAM. I upgraded to 124 and it runs great now.
