computer problems?

Question

the computer runs very very slowley please help running windows xp medier center edition

Answer 1

did the computer come with media version on it or have you just installed it?. Could be there is not enough memory to run it properly. Also run a virus check, a spyware check and a registry clean. Then delete temp files and carry out a defrag of your drive.

Good luck

Answer 2

That could be a virus... Or not. But it could. Just check you computer by disabling system restore, doing an antivurus scan in safe mode and the enabling your system restore again - the reason is a virus may be hidding in your system restore and if it is the only way to fix it is by running the antivirus with it disabled. Also download Spybot - Saerch & Destroy and scan your computer for spyware, adware, malware, it could have something to do with it. Good luck.
