Sometimes, the response is even slower than Windows 95. Appreciate yr advice !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I have seen an article that was posted by MS saying that one of their updates could cause that type issue. They have released another update or patch to correct that particular issue. check the Windows Updates page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekkid Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 I don't know if this is your problem, but I do know that SP1 slowed it down remarkably. Programs start up much slower and it starts up much slower. Especially if it's being run on a lower-end machine.Also check to see what you have in the start up. If you've got loads of stuff in there, you'll want to remove/disable some of them.Click on Start>Run>msconfig>Startup Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
